Summary of Request for Special Exception:
The applicant has requested a special exception to vary the approved application plan for the Fashion Square
Mall development, SDP1979-7, as authorized by County Code Section 18-8.5.5.3. With regards to the findings
contained in staff s analysis (Attachment A), staff recommends approval with conditions requiring the
construction of sidewalks and associated improvements in certain locations.
Special Exceptions that are recommended for approval by staff are typically scheduled for action on the Board's
consent agenda. The applicant in this case had previously opposed certain conditions of approval recommended
by staff. Pursuant to the Board of Supervisor's policy for processing Special Exceptions, because the applicant
opposed a condition of approval, the item was scheduled for the Planning Commission's review and
recommendation prior to the Board's review of the proposal. At the Planning Commission meeting on June 25,
2019, the applicant advised staff and the Commission that they agreed with, and did not oppose, the conditions
recommended by staff. The conditions of approval listed in the staff report were also slightly revised prior to the
Planning Commission meeting to address technical issues. The Planning Commission recommended approval
with conditions as recommended by staff (and now agreed to by the applicant). Since the applicant does not
oppose the recommended conditions of approval, this item is scheduled for action on the Board's consent
agenda.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment B) to approve the special exception
request, subject to the conditions attached thereto.
