3. ROGC Universal Extension of Development and Construction Deadlines
20-176 Due to COVID-19. (Mayor)
Recommendation: Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to review the universe of
applicable development and construction deadlines impacted by
COVID-19 and return to Council with recommendations for an
ordinance that addresses the following:
(1) PBCE has already extended building permit deadlines by 6
months in April 2020. Please provide an update and
recommendation on extending deadlines for an additional 6 months,
for a total of 12 months, to correspond with expected supply chain
and labor delays, as well as the potential for a second wave of
infections this fall;
(2) Provide an extension of all entitlements from 2 to 4 years for all
projects due to the impacts of COVID-19 on construction timelines
due to factors listed above, with the additional factor of significantly
diminished investor activity;
(3) Evaluate the forbearance of permit and entitlement fees to ensure
that these universal extensions will not have unintended
consequences; and
(4) Provide extensions for all fee waivers and reductions to, at a
minimum, correspond to the duration of the COVID-19 shelter in
place order(s).
