BACKGROUND
Mr. James W. Mahannah P.E. of Schnars Engineering Corporation and agent for 924 Venture L.L.c. is
requesting a one (l)-year time extension, for the site plan approval (NWSP 02-024) originally granted on
February 18, 2003. Traffic concurrency was also approved at this time, with a stated build-out date of
2003. The property, zoned Mixed-Use Low (MU-L), is currently a vacant, undeveloped parcel approximately

Memorandum No. PZ 04-097
0.52 acres in size. The intent of the project is to construct a three (3) story, 8,754 square foot office /
retail building (see Exhibit - "B"). If this request for extension were approved, the expiration date of this
site plan, including concurrency certification would be extended to February 18, 2005.
ANALYSIS
On February 18, 2003, the City Commission granted site plan approval for the above-referenced project.
This site plan approval was subject to 12 conditions of approval. All project conditions of approval
pertaining to the site plan would still apply.
According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have one (1)
year to secure a building permit from the Development Department". It states further that the City
Commission may extend the approval for one (1) year provided that the applicant has filed a request for
a time extension prior to the expiration of the original approval. In this case, the applicant has met the
requirement. The Planning & Zoning Division received the application for a site plan time extension on
February 12, 2004, prior to the expiration date.
After Commission approval, the applicant submitted applications for building and for paving and drainage
permits in May 2003, which were voided due to inactivity in November 2003 and January 2004,
respectively. As stated in the request, the applicant has been delayed because of inability to locate
suitable tenants required to secure financing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for a one (l)-year time extension of the site plan approval
(NWSP 02-024) with the condition that the applicant obtains traffic concurrency approval to extend the
build-out date accordingly. This positive recommendation is based on the fact that no changes have been
made to the Land Development Regulations that would impact this project since it was approved in
February 2003. Approval of this request for site plan extension would extend the project's expiration date
to February 18, 2005.
All conditions of approval included in the initial development order must still be satisfactorily addressed
during the building permit process; however, any conditions of approval recommended by the Board or
required by the City Commission will be placed in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval.
