It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
The Florida Local Government Development Act, as set forth in Section 163.3220 – 163.3243, Florida Statutes, authorizes the use of development agreements. These development agreements are designed to encourage a stronger commitment to comprehensive and capital facilities planning, ensure the provision of adequate public facilities for development, encourage the efficient use of resources, and reduce the economic cost of development.
The proposed development agreement between Pasco County and Wesley Chapel Lakes, LTD., Clearwater Bay Associates, Inc., Pasco Height Development Corporation, and Meadow Pointe III Community Development District, or other owners within the Wesley Chapel Lakes Development of Regional Impact (DRI) No. 166 sets forth the terms and conditions of development approval with respect to the DRI. The purpose of the development agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions of development approval for Phase I, defined pursuant to the Amended Development Order (DO), as 4,520 residential dwelling units and 220,000 square feet of commercial development, as the same relates to the design, right-of-way acquisition, permitting, and construction of the Pipeline Project (SR 56, East of CR 581) associated with Phase I of the DRI. The property subject to this proposed development agreement is located in Sections 10, 15, 22, 26, 27, 33, 34, and 35, Township 26 South, Range 20 East, south of and abutting SR 54, approximately 3.5 miles east of I-75, extending south to the County Line.
On April 10, 2002, the Local Planning Agency (LPA) held a public hearing and continued the development agreement hearing until April 16, 2002, 9:30 A.M., in Dade City. Due to this action of the LPA, the Board is requested to continue this item until May 7, 2002, 6:30 P.M., in New Port Richey. If the Board desires to hear this item in Dade City, then the next available meeting is May 14, 2002, 9:30 A.M., Dade City. Staff and the applicant have been working to complete the agreement for several months. Therefore, staff is recommending that this item be continued to May 7, 2002, 6:30 P.M., in New Port Richey.
