Background Information:
On August 23, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Final Plat for the establishment of 5 lots which include the construction of a new road, being Northgate Road, to provide frontage to the proposed lots. The applicant submitted Public Improvement Construction Plans for the construction of Northgate Road and those PICPs have subsequently been approved. A Subdivision Improvement Agreement for the extension of water, wastewater, and a storm sewer system to serve the development was also approved at the time of the Plat approval.
Per section 1.6.5.7 of the Land Development Code, a plat shall remain in effect for a period of two years from the date the application is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission unless otherwise extended in accordance with Section 1.3.5.1 of the Land Development Code. If the plat is not recorded within this two year period it shall be deemed expired.
On July 24, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved an extension to the expiration period of the plat for one year. The plat will expire on July 24, 2019. The applicant is requesting a subsequent extension to this plat in accordance with Section 1.3.5.1 of the Land Development Code. This second extension of the expiration date of the plat must be approved by City Council and shall not exceed two years. Therefore, the applicant is requesting that the plat be extended with a new expiration date of July 24, 2021.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
The original plat was approved on August 23, 2016 by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission approved an extension to the expiration date on July 24, 2018. The plat will expire on July 24, 2019.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the plat with the following conditions:
• The subsequent approval of the extension of the expiration period shall be for two years (expiration date of July 24, 2021); and
• The development shall meet the same water quality requirements for properties located within the San Marcos River Protection Zone (80% reduction in TSS and 1.25” WQV capture) to mitigate for impacts to the water quality zone.
