DISCUSSION: On February 5, 2008, the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approved a Preliminary/Final Site Plan for West RV & Boat Storage. The subject property is located on the west side of Ocoee-Apopka Road, across from the West Orange Girls Club. On January 22, 2009, the Development Services Department received a letter from the owner of the property requesting a 1 year extension of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan approval due to current economic situations and lack of construction financing. Per Section 4-3 C of the Land Development Code, approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan shall be automatically voided if construction has not commenced within 1 year from the date of approval of the Preliminary/Final Site Plan. This Section of the Land Development Code allows the City Commission to grant a 1 year extension of the plan approval upon written request of the developer, provided the plans still comply with current Land Development Code regulations. No major updates to the Land Development Code have been undertaken since the approval of the plans; therefore it is staff's opinion that the plans still comply with the current Land Development Code regulations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners grant a 1 year extension consistent with Section 4-3 C of the Land Development Code for the Preliminary/Final Site Plan approval for West RV & Boat Storage.
