The item was previously approved at the November 18, 2020, Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. Per the Unified Development Code (UDC), approved plats have a two-year expiration date in which the final plat must be recorded. Prior to recordation all public improvements are to be completed. Public improvements were recently completed, but not within this two-year time frame. Since the two-year expiration has occurred, in order to record the final plat it must be re-approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Thus, the applicant has resubmitted the previously approved plat. No changes or modifications are proposed with this final plat, it has been resubmitted strictly due to the two-year expiration occurring. |
