The vested property right would last 3 years, beginning on the date of the City Council public hearing approving the site specific development plan. If amendments to the plan were subsequently made, those would not extend the vesting period from that which was established with the original approval, unless City Council specifically acted to extend the period through the resolution of approval. City Council would have the ability to enter into an agreement with a property owner that could extend a vesting period for a project (possibly a multi-phase project) for a period longer than 3 years. The City Administrator would set the application fee, as with all other land use application fees. The ordinance also proposes a minor modification to the current PUD section of the zoning code regarding the link between preliminary and final PUD. The ordinance is proposed to be adopted as an emergency to meet the January 1, 2000 deadline established in the statute. There have been some minor amendments to the Ordinance since first reading. Those changes do not have any substantive impact on the Ordinance. The changes are intended to clarify that any approval of a preliminary PUD should not be construed as granting any statutory vesting rights. As a proposed amendment to the zoning code, the Planning Commission is required to review the Ordinance and forward a recommendation to City Council. On November 18, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Ordinance. They moved forward Resolution 4/55, Series 1998, which recommends approval, without modification. The Planning Commission approved the resolution unanimously (6 - 0). Davidson opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak on Ordinance No. 1313, Series 1999. NONE Davidson closed the public hearing and called for Council comments and questions. Howard moved that Council approve Ordinance No. 1313, Series 1999 - An Ordinance Amending Title 17 and Adopting a New Chapter 17.54, Statutory Vested Property Rights on second reading, seconded by Mayer. Light offered a friendly amendment clarifying that there are some secOnd reading amendments contained in the Ordinance, which would be included in the Ordinance. Friendly amendment accepted by Howard and Mayer. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a vote of 6-0.
