V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS (UDC)
Per UDC 11-6B-7C, “Upon written request and filing by the applicant prior to the termination of the
period in accord with subsections A and B of this section, the director may authorize a single
extension of time to obtain the city engineer's signature on the final plat not to exceed two (2) years.
Additional time extensions up to two (2) years as determined and approved by the city council may be

granted. With all extensions, the director or city council may require the preliminary plat, combined
preliminary and final plat or short plat to comply with the current provisions of this title.”
In 2015, this property received rezoning (RZ-15-009) and preliminary plat (PP-15-011) approval from
City Council. A conditional use permit (CUP-15-015) was approved to permit a multi-family
development in R-15. A modification to the development agreement was approved (MDA-15-006)
and recorded as Instrument No. 2016-021940. A one-year time extension (A-2017-0132) on the
preliminary plat and conditional use permit was approved by the Director on July 17, 2017. This
approval extended the time period in which the applicant had to obtain the City Engineer’s signature
on a final plat until September 2, 2018. In 2018, a second time extension was approved by the City
Council on September 27, 2018. With the previous extension the Applicant had until October 16,
2020 to record the final plat or apply for an additional time extension as outlined in the code section
above. The Applicant met the timeline by applying for the applications prior to the expiration.
The previous time extension approved by City Council required additional conditions of approval due
to code changes at the time. Staff does not find it necessary to require any other conditions at this
time but will require that all previous conditions of approval are included. However, this would make
the third overall time extension for this project and subsequent plat and Staff recommends City
Council determine whether any additional conditions of approval are needed or if an additional time
extension is appropriate.
Approval of the subject time extension will allow the applicant to submit a final plat application. The
subject time extension will also allow the applicant to commence the multi-family use as permitted
with the conditional use permit, subject to CZC and DES approval. If the subject time extension is not
granted, the preliminary plat application and conditional use application for this property would
expire and new preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications would need to be submitted
for City approval. The recorded development agreement still allows the development of the property
as approved in Exhibit A.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed time extension of the Preliminary Plat and
Conditional Use Permit for a time period of two (2) years, as requested, to expire on October 16,
2022 if the City Engineer’s signature is not obtained on the Final Plat prior to this date.
B. Conditions of Approval:
1. The applicant is to meet all terms of the approved annexation (RZ-15-009), development
agreement (MDA 2016-021940) and preliminary plat (PP-15-011) for this development.
2. The applicant is to meet all terms of the approved conditional use permit (CUP-15-015) for this
development.
3. Future development of the subject property shall comply with the design standards in effect at
the time of development.
4. The applicant shall have until to October 16, 2022, to commence construction of the multi-
family development and obtain City Engineer’s signature on a final plat OR submit another
time extension in accord with UDC 11-6B-7.
