A. Not more than 14 days after City Council approval or conditional approval of a site specific development plan, there shall be published in a newspaper designated by the City for the publication of notices, a public notice. The notice shall contain the following: 1. A statement that a site specific development plan has been approved and a vested property right created. 2. A statement generally describing the type and intensity of use approved in the site specific development plan, and a reference to the specific City Council resolution of approval. 3. A description of the subject property which shall include a vicinity description by reference to an adjacent or nearby road intersection, and which may include a legal description. B. Each map, plan or other document constituting a site specific development plan shall contain the following language: "Approval of this plan may create a vested property right pursuant to Article 68 of Title 24, C.R.S., as amended." Failure to include this statement shall prevent the creation of a vested property right. Sec. 17.54.050. Effective date. A site specific development plan shall be deemed approved upon the effective date of City Council's final action granting approval or conditional approval of such plan, if such approval is otherwise granted in compliance with the procedures of this chapter. Failure to comply with the procedures set forth in this chapter shall prevent the creation of a vested property right. Sec. 17.54.060. Duration and amendment. A. A vested property right which has been created pursuant to this chapter shall remain vested for a period of three years, unless a longer period is expressly authorized by City Council resolution. B. The three-year vesting period shall not be extended by any amendments to a site specific development plan. Therefore, in the event City Council approves amendments to a site specific development plan, the effective date of such amendments, for purposes of duration of any vested property right, shall be the date of City Council's approval of the original site specific development plan, unless the City Council by resolution expressly finds and determines otherwise. Vested property rights shall not attach to any administrative amendment, and may attach to amendments to the site specific development plan only if approved in compliance with the procedures set forth in this chapter. Sec. 17.54.070. Payment of costs. The applicant for approval of a site specific development plan shall pay a fee in an amount set by the city administrator in accordance with section 17.04.080.
