This was the fifth time extension issued for the Planned Development District and the third time extension granted for the Tentative Tract Map.

Since the October4 meeting,the applicant has meetwith City staff in numerous meetings to review revised design and development plans, thus demonstrating a commitment to implementation of the proposal. The existing Planned Development District consists of up to a 400 -room hotel, up to 500 two-bedroom Vacation Ownership Units (VDU's), research and development facilities, commercial/retail and light industrial uses, a tennis complex, a 27-hole golf course and golf clubhouse on approximately369.5 acres.

The project was initially recommended for approval at the October 12, 1994, Planning Commission meeting and was approved atthe October 19, 1994,City Council meeting with a two-year time frame.
