RE: ZMA201600006 Glenmore K2C Proffer Amendment
Dear Mr. Achenbach:
Staff has reviewed your submittal to reduce the cash proffer amount previously approved with
ZMA200600016.
Planning Comments
As you may know, two similar requests have been made for cash proffer reductions, which the
Planning Commission has not recommended for approval. The Fiscal Impact Advisory
Committee (FIAC) recommended a lower amount for cash proffers in 2015 (staff report) and the
applicants for reduced cash proffers requested reductions to the FIAC recommended amounts
(report for Spring Hill Village; report for Out of Bounds).
The cash proffer amounts recommended by FIAC provide a reasonable benchmark for a
maximum cash proffer per residential unit under the current CIP and CNA. However, that does
not mean that the per unit amount proffered by the applicant and accepted by the Board when the
property was originally rezoned was inconsistent with the cash proffer policy or was anything
other than a reasonable condition intended to address the impacts from the rezoning.
Staff will be bringing a comprehensive plan amendment recommendation to the Planning
Commission in May and to the Board of Supervisors in June to repeal the cash proffer policy in
light of the most recent State Code changes that will be in effect on July 1, 2016. If approved,
staff will be evaluating and establishing a new approach to calculating the impacts of
development for Planning Commission and Board consideration.
At this juncture, you may wish to wait until after the Board acts on Spring Hill Village and Out
of Bounds or wait until the Board completes its new approach to calculating the impacts of
development before you ask for a public hearing with the Planning Commission. Alternatively,
you may request that your project move to a public hearing with the Commission at its earliest
date. Currently, the earliest possible meeting date available is June 215t
