Dear Ms Riptay:
and Environmental 1. 'ices
March 20, 1998
On January 8, 1997, the City Council enacted Ordinance 161, 1996, commonly called
the Transition Ordinance. This Ordinance provided for the review and processing of
land use applications under the regulations in effect at that time (Land Development
Guidance System, subdivision regulations, special site plan review) during the
transition period until the adoption of the Land Use Code and established a temporary
delay in the acceptance of new applications.
Ordinance 161, 1996 established two deadlines for the acceptance of applications that
would continue to be reviewed under the LDGS:
1. January 18, 1997. After the effective date of Ordinance 161, 1996,
(January 18, 1997) only specifically exempted applications would be
permitted. Until that deadline, applicants could.submit either preliminary
or final development applications and have them reviewed under the
regulations in effect at that time (Section 6, Ordinance 161, 1996); and,
2. July 17, 1997. As of July 17, 1997 or six months after the date of
approval (whichever was later), all preliminary subdivision plats and
PUDs would expire unless a completed application for final approval had
been filed.
In addition, the Ordinance allowed for the continued processing of applications already
in the process.
The clear intent of this Ordinance was to provide a reasonable transition time in which
valid development projects could continue to be processed under prior regulations
rather than being reviewed under newly adopted regulations.
Our records indicate that you submitted a Final PUD application on July 16, 1997 for
the Registry Ridge PUD, 3rd Filing. City staff reviewed the submittal and provided
initial comments on August 13, 1997. Since that time, revisions have not been
submitted to indicate this is an active project. Because of this lack of activity and any
other clear indication that you are actively pursuing this project, staff intends to take
this application to the Planning and Zoning Board for their review on May 21, 1998.
