Fiscal Note
The Building Inspection Unit anticipates that the extension provisions will not be used often. Therefore, the associated fees will have little impact on General Fund revenues.
Title
SUBSTITUTE - Amending Sections 28.07(6)(g)5. and (h) of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify the two provisions, make them consistent, and add six months to the time period for obtaining a permit. as well as to the ability to request an additional 24 months from the Plan Commission, and creating Section 28.12(12)(a)11, of the Madison General Ordinances to add a fee of $500 for an application for an extension from the Plan Commission.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Currently, an extension is available to the time period for recording a general development plan and specific implementation plan, but no extension is available for obtaining a building permit. These amendments clarify the provision providing for an extension to the time period for recording and add an extension for the time period during which a building permit must be obtained. The latter period is extended to thirty-six (36) months, with an additional twenty-four (24) months available if the Plan Commission finds that the general development plan is not inconsistent with conditions that may have changed in the area/neighborhood. Because a general development plan/specific implementation plan approval is a legislative decision, the Plan Commission may grant an extension for the time to obtain a building permit but may not change or add to the conditions of the rezoning. In addition, a fee of five hundred dollars ($500) will be charged for an application for an extension.
