329 <br />Whitney Watson: Sorry. Yeah. 330 <br /> 331 <br />Chris Johnston: I jumped in on yours, and I apologize for that. This is the first time I feel like we've seen this far 332 <br />out, the 15 years and that sort of thing. If they, for whatever reason, fail to install a west campus 333 <br />gym in 15 years, do they even have to come back and reapply for the conditional access or 334 <br />something to be changed and updated to 20 years, or whatever the case may be, or is this kind of 335 <br />a projection? How hard are these numbers? 336 <br /> 337 <br />Cy Stober: The state law has very hard number in vested rights for a non-phase development of 7 years at 338 <br />present. 339 <br /> 340 <br />Chris Johnston: Okay. 341 <br /> 342 <br />Cy Stober: So that's our vesting period for a conditional zoning case. We're extending that through a 343 <br />condition, so at the end of 15 years they are vested rights for that particular use and that particular 344 <br />construction have expired and, yeah, they would need to go back through the zoning process 345 <br />because the condition would have been exhausted. 346 <br /> 347 <br />Chris Johnston: Okay. Thank you. That's my only question. 348 <br /> 349 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. Statler? 350 <br /> 351 <br />Statler Gilfillen: I'm reading through this. You or your department have made a number of comments in here. I 352 <br />believe all of them are pretty much consistent that this is a positive direction. Technically, what 353 <br />they're trying to do and approach this. Is there anything that I could've been missing that your 354 <br />department has done that might be a conflict? 355 <br /> 356 <br />Cy Stober: I would defer to Lauren, because she's more intimately familiar with the application, but, no, I've 357 <br />attended the development advisory committee meetings. They've been very responsive to the 358 <br />comments from the county and DOT and responsive to the community comments as well, but 359 <br />Lauren, I'll give you the floor. 360 <br /> 361 <br />Statler Gilfillen: What I'm seeing as an architect in the level of detail and what they presented, and what they've 362 <br />gone through in the presentation tonight. They seem to be working very hard to conform and 363 <br />make this work in positive ways. That's what I'm seeing in the paperwork and the presentation. 364 <br /> 365 <br />Cy Stober: Lauren, in your opinion, can you offer your view? 366 <br /> 367 <br />Lauren Honeycutt: That is correct. They did go through the development advisory committee and did receive 368 <br />comments that required revisions. All revisions were made and complete before they moved 369 <br />forward in the process. They're here tonight, and we're bringing it before the board with a staff 370 <br />recommendation because of our assessment of completeness. I actually have a couple more 371 <br />slides that could speak to that. I know we jumped into questions, but if we can kind of look 372 <br />through those that speak to ways that this has complied with our requirements, including public 373 <br />notification, which was sent out by staff, as well as signs posted, and public notification on our 374 <br />web page, and then this is the staff analysis we're thinking about here. Staff did analyze that their 375 <br />application was both in compliance with zoning atlas and unified development ordinance 376 <br />amendments, the requirements from those, requirements for conditional districts nested within 377 <br />that, and then also the requirements at large for schools. So, we looked at the comprehensive 378 <br />plan and making sure that everything looks consistent. This one is being brought into compliance 379 <br />with current zoning because the current use is only able to be through this non-residential 380 <br />conditional district or another conditional district process, so that's why it's being brought forward 381 <br />to bring that into compliance, and then they complied with providing environmental assessments, 382 <br />which staff reviewed and determined that there was no significant impact, which is how we end up 383 <br />12
