• • • AGENDA ITEM 7 C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland MEETING DATE: City Council — February 12, 2001 TOPIC: Circle -Lex VFW — Extension of CUP VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority DESCRIPTION: The Circle Lex VFW received approval of a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit on April 26, 1999 to allow the expansion of their existing facility at 7868 Lake Drive. According to the Zoning Ordinance, both the Site Plan Review section and the Conditional Use Permit section have specific reference to initiation of the project and expiration of the permit. Those sections are as follows: And "If construction has not begun within one (1) year after the date of the conditional use permit, or if substantial construction has not taken place within three (3) years after the date of issuance of the conditional use permit, the permit is void. A conditional use specified in the permit expires if, for any reason, the authorized use ceases for more than one year." "Activities authorized by site and building plan approval shall be initiated within six (6) months. If such activity is not completed within eighteen (18) months, the site approval shall no longer be in effect, and application and approval of site and building plans shall be required." At this time, the Circle Lex VFW would like to extend both their Site Plan Review and CUP. They have indicated, via Post Commander Dean Johnson, that a tentative construction date is set for the summer of 2001. Staff would advise Council that in April of 2001 this CUP approval will be two years old. If the Circle Lex VFW is certain construction will begin this spring, we would recommend approval of an extension until year end 2001. If construction is still questionable, Council must consider a longer extension or require a new review when construction is eminent.
