A site plan shall be vested for a period of three years from the date of the original approval.
Add the following note to the site plan:
This site plan is subject to a three-year vesting period, during which the development standards in effect on the date of approval will remain the standards applicable to this plan. If construction is not completed during the first three years, the original site plan is considered a preliminary site plan and the applicant must obtain approval of a final site plan. Development of the property shown on this plan may be subject to standards other than those that were applicable during the vesting period. The Initial vesting period for this plan expires on April 3, 2026, unless extended by the City of Brentwood. Persons relying on this plan after said date should contact the City of Brentwood to determine if development may continue as depicted on the plan.
When the construction authorized pursuant to a site plan is not completed within three years from the date of initial approval, but the applicant desires to complete the project proposed for the site, the plan as initially approved for the project or as amended shall be considered a preliminary site plan. If the applicant secures all necessary permits, commences site preparation and obtains approval of a final site plan within the three-year vesting period following approval of the preliminary site plan, then the vesting period shall be extended an additional two years beyond the expiration of the initial three-year vesting period. During the two-year extension, the applicant must commence construction and maintain any necessary permits to remain vested.
If necessary permits are maintained and construction, as defined by Section 78-43, has commenced by the end of the two-year extension, then the vesting period shall remain in effect until the Planning and Codes Department has certified final completion of the project, provided the total vesting period shall not exceed ten years from the date of approval of the preliminary site plan.
If the construction authorized pursuant to a site plan is completed within three years from the date of approval, the site plan shall then be considered the final site plan for the project.
The property owner is responsible for all development fees including water and sewer service and tap fees, building permit fees and Public Works Project Fees. The required fees shall be used for future infrastructure related improvements required by the proposed development.
