Since 2006 th e Emerald Place development has not commenced and the City has obtained ownership of approxi mately 39.9 acres of the property, with the applicant Cornerstone CW, LLC owning the remainder seven (7) acres. The entire 46.91 acr es are subject to the Declaration of Restrictions. Current Situation The current developer, Cornerstone CW , LLC owner of the seven (7) acre portion of the overall 46.91 acre property is proposing a multi-family residentia l development under the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The development of the entire 46.91 acre property is subject to the conditions in the Declaration of Restrictions including the site plan that was submitt ed with the Emerald Place development in 2006. A release of the recorded Declaration of Restrictions will allow the proposed devel opment of the applicant’s sev en (7) acre site under the City’s LDRs and a new site plan. At the same time, the release of the Declaration of Restrictions will lift the restrictions of the Emerald Place development on the 39.9 acre City owned property a llowing development in the future under the City’s LDRs. The proposed new multi-family development on the seven (7) acre property and any future development of the City owned property will be subject to site plan review by th e City and will require all ot her land development approvals applicable at the time. The Declaration of Restrictions was proffered at public hearing to the City Council, so therefore, it must be released by action of the City Council. . Analysis The request for release of the Declaration of Restrictive C ovenant is beneficial in that the original zoning approval for which the Declaration was proffered is considered aba ndoned and therefore the Declaration is not in effect; in addition, the remainder of the property owned by the City is also released of the Declaration of Restrictions allowing the future development of the remai nder of the property under the City’s LDRs. Proposed Action: Recommend adoption of the Resolution. Attachments: Exhibit “A” - Declaration of Restrictive Covenants Exhibit “B” - Applicant’s Letter of Intent
