KERN: Sure. So, when the applicant comes in for a time extension and it's typically, they had 5 years to do something, and they had a 5-year administrative time extension and that administrative time extension either not granted or it expired. That application comes in, and we look at like a new application. We look at top to bottom, have conditions changed, has traffic changed, has environment changed, has the settlement pattern changed, has the General Plan changed, has the Community Development Plan changed, has anything changed? And then we look at amending conditions or possibly changing the recommendation. They could come in and say, things have changed so much that we do not recommend the time extension, and this should no longer be valid. So, we look at just like how we look a new one that comes through. We look at every single component of it and then adjust conditions or request them to do additional. Such as, typically it's like a Traffic Impact Analysis Report and other cases we've seen a EA come up. So, we really look at it complete. LIN: Thank you Director Kern and my second question would be on the lines of what Commissioner Aguinaldo had asked. So, say if I was a developer and I got the ordinance approved by County Council to develop a 200-unit development and I decide to sell that parcel to another developer, and they decide to hold off on that project because they do not have funding or what not for another 10 years. What happens to that ordinance if they decide to suddenly say, oh well, we have money now we now want to start up this development again. KERN: Sure, so, we see that and so if that were the case and the ordinance were expired unless let's just assume it's expired. Then they would have to come into the Department submit an application for a time extension and then we would go through the entire review of that. It would come through the appropriate Commission; it would go to County Council and the County Council would make the final decision to approve that or not. But, again, we still look at holistically all the way through top to bottom again. LIN: So, I think that's the I guess the contention point with the community is. We have those situations that there is somebody who gets an approval for a development, but they decide to sell it, or something changes,and the new owner decide not to build it for another 10-15 years. So, at that time,they would come back to the Planning Department request for the time extension and then would comae back to Commission. KERN: Correct and when we are looking at it, we would say, yeah, you know 15 years ago you did a traffic impact analysis report but, currently you need one now. So then, they would have to hire an engineer, they would give us a new TIAR (Traffic Impact Analysis Report). Those conditions would then be potentially adjusted depending on the level of service. So, it's not just come back through, and it's just timed, it's really, we factor, and things change, the General Plan change. LIN: So, I guess my thought would be wouldn't it be more fair to have them come again and apply because it's a new owner and maybe they don't have the same idea of what the previous owner development was. So, maybe like Ms. harden said, maybe they don't want bike 8 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
