portion of 1, reports as follows:
Bill No. 232 amends Conditions B, C, & Y of of Ordinance No. 95-70, which reclassified
approximately 11,184 acres of land from an Agricultural (A-20a) to an Agricultural (A-la, A-3a,
A-200a, A-255a and A-8000a) zoned district.
The amendment to the conditions relates to water source and system requirement, incremental
development and performance requirement. The amendment to Condition B deletes section B (2)
which relates to bonding, but does not delete B (2) (i) and (ii). Condition B is also amended to
increase the time factor from two years to five years. Condition C increases the time factor for
the submission of plans For the first increment from three to five yeazs. The amendment to
Condition Y corrects a typographical error in which reference to Condition C should actually be
Condition B.
In Condition B, the applicant is requesting a five-year extension of time to establish assurances
that adequate water resources have been established for the proposed development. The request
is also to amend certain conditions to allow the property to be developed in a manner that ensures
that the infrastructure impacts and concerns aze addressed in a manner that is fair to both the
County and the owner.
In Condition C, the applicant is requesting an extension of the time period from three to five
yeazs for the submission of the plans for the proposed subdivision of the first increment of the
development.
Numerous testimonies received from the public supported the time extension request. KDC has
stated that because of the depressed economy and budgetary constraints they have been
experiencing problems complying with the current performance timetable in which to establish
assurances for adequate water sources and the development of the project.
