Second Reading, Ordinance No. 05-09: Amending Planned Unit Development Section of Zoning Ordinance to Remove Six -Month Limit on Extensions for Submitting Final Development Plan ii. Resolution No. 09-53 Approving Summary of Ordinance No. 05-09 For Publication ACTION: 3/5 vote on Ordinance No. 05-09 4/5 vote on Resolution No. 09-53 BACKGROUND The City Council approved the first reading of this ordinance on July 27. This is the second reading. Once adopted, all ordinances must be published in the official newspaper. However, state statute allows the City by a 4/5 vote to publish a summary of an ordinance as long as the summary clearly informs the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. This saves on publication costs. Resolution No. 09-53 approves a summary of the ordinance. The zoning ordinance includes requirements for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The "development stage plan" includes a preliminary plat. The final plat and other more defined elements of a PUD are included in the "final plan". The ordinance currently requires submittal of the final plan within one year of approval of the development stage plan. Beyond this, the ordinance limits an extension of time to six months. The proposed ordinance amendment would eliminate this six-month limit on extensions. OPTIONS 1. Approve second reading of Ordinance No. 05-09 removing the six-month limit for extensions of the period allowed for submitting a PUD final plan. 2. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option 1
