Bradford, Village Manager 7 ,] %,..7 Date: September 22, 1995 Subject: Ordinances Amending the Tequesta Development Review Procedures; Agenda Items There are a number of Ordinances scheduled for consideration at the Village Council Meeting on September 18, 1995, which in their totality, are intended to modify the Tequesta development review procedures along the lines of that previously discussed with the Village Council . As you know, the Village Council has indicated a desire to speed up the development approval process and, where beneficial, consolidate decision making authority relative to development proposals . The Ordinances in question, as they appear upon the September 28th Agenda, are as follows : • IV(B) , ( 6) :Amending site plan review procedures so that approval occurs prior to Community Appearance Board review; adding a provision for an expedited site plan review process . • IV(B) , (8) :Amending the powers of the Board of Adjustment, providing that the Village Council shall hear appeals and variances for all matters except in single-family zoning districts . • IX(A) : Creating a $1000 fee for expedited site plan review procedures . • IX, (B) : Updating the procedures of the Community Appearance Board to coincide with current practices and amend the timeframes for final action and appeals from the Board. The Ordinance amending the variances before the Board of Adjustment should address primary Village Council concerns yet still allow the Board to exist, which is a reasonable compromise . The second Ordinance listed above will amend the development review process so that Village Council reviews site plans prior to the Community Appearance Board. More importantly, it creates a new expedited review process whereby at the option of the applicant, for an additional fee of $1000, the applicant has the potential of receiving development review approvals in thirty days versus sixty days . The next listed Ordinance provides the fee for the expedited site plan review process . The Ordinance amending procedures of the Community Appearance Board reduces the time granted to the Community Appearance Board from the current twenty days to fifteen days . a, Page 2— I think that these proposed changes will address the concerns expressed by the Village Council relative to our development review' procedures and, will offer an incentive to stimulate development by the waiver of impact fees while speeding up the review process for those persons desiring same .
