INFORMATION: The Board of Aldermen approved a Conditional Use Permit for a mixed use project at 200 South Greensboro Street on February 26, 2008 (see Attachment B). Construction did not move forward and the property was later converted to a town-maintained parking lot. Subsequently, the town purchased the property. The current and ongoing use of the property remains a parking lot. Approval of the extension will retain the vested right to potentially develop the property in accordance with its governing CUP, which allows construction of a five-story mixed use building (see Attachment C). The CUP is currently set to expire on January 1, 2014. The Board may choose to extend the expiration date by up to one year in accordance with LUO Section 15-62 (see Attachment D). A resolution is attached approving an extension of the CUP expiration date to January 1, 2015 (Attachment A).
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: No fiscal or staff impact is noted in association with extending the permit's expiration date. Fiscal implications of not extending the permit involve loss of the vested right to develop the property in accordance with the CUP.
RECOMMENDATION:r Town staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution approving an extension of the CUP expiration date for the Roberson Square mixed use project.
