On January 18, 2011, the Board
of County Commissioners adopted a resolution to continue to suspend fees for
Environmental Management Permit extension requests through December 31, 2011.
This suspension of fee collection will provide a “bridge” to allow currently
approved, but unbuilt, development projects to remain valid until the
local/national economic situation improves. If environmental permits
were allowed to expire, the project’s underlying subdivision and/or site and
development plan approval and concurrency determinations would also expire.
Reactivation of the project would require payment of all related fees and
mitigation costs (PUV, land use approval, environmental permitting, and
concurrency review/determination). Therefore, the proposal could potentially
save the developer/owner the money and time associated with the reactivation of
expired approvals. This also provides the developer/owner of an approved
project the ability to maintain an exempt/vested status from compliance with
state-mandated concurrency requirements, and the associated mitigation costs
until the local/national economic situation improves.
Resolution Suspending the Fees Charged for the Extension of Previously Approved
Environmental Management Permits (EEMP) through 12/31/2011
