DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Emerald Village was reviewed and approved with conditions by the Development Review Committee (DRC), on July 14, 2025. The DRC granted the Developer a waiver from the requirement of Section 2.18.1 of the County Land Development Code. Section 2.18.1 requires the submittal of Improvement Plans for construction activities including public or private roads, road modifications, offsite roadway improvements, and other offsite linear construction such as utility or stormwater installations.
As a condition of granting this waiver, the DRC required the Developer to enter into this Developer’s Agreement. The Agreement establishes the timing and requirements for a Traffic Impact Analysis, provides for the creation of an internal road network to facilitate cross-access consistent with County access management standards, and requires the recording of a Declaration of Covenants creating a homeowners’ association responsible for shared circulation elements.
These conditions allow the platting process to proceed without requiring the applicant to first submit an Improvement Plan. This agreement will ensure mobility, connectivity, and development standards will be met, while also allowing the developer to begin platting and selling tracts.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
