The Board of Adjustment voted to approve an extension for a prior adjustment tied to 4519 Cypress Business Park after the applicant said engineering delays and nearby construction and recent storms pushed back permit milestones. The board carried the motion during its Aug. 4 meeting.
The applicant’s designer, Alan Reamer, told the board the project had been slowed by engineering work and delays related to a neighboring Amazon site and weather; he said the team was “very close” and asked for more time to secure a building permit. The board discussed whether to grant three months or the six months cited in the staff report.
Why it matters: The extension keeps the previously granted adjustment in effect while the applicant finalizes engineering and permit work; whether the board set the extension at three or six months was discussed on the record and the motion carried, which preserves the applicant’s entitlement while work continues.
What the board said: Chair William Guess led the discussion and called for a motion after the applicant described the delays. Board member Metcalfe initially moved for a three-month extension; other members referenced the staff report request for six months and confirmed the board could approve a shorter period if needed. The meeting record shows the motion carried.
What happens next: The applicant or planning staff will confirm the approved extension duration and note any conditions or deadlines. Members of the public had no comments on the request during the hearing.
