The Rhodes Ranch Development Agreement (second amendment) was approved by the County Commission on July 16, 2008 and extends through July 30, 2028. The amended Development Agreement limits the residential unit cap to 12,621 which does not include the 1,000 residential units approved for the hotel/casino site. The amended agreement also requires provisions for certain public facilities in addition to other infrastructure improvements and mitigation including:
- A maximum 55 acres of Qualified Park Land to be developed by Owner;
- Preparation of site specific traffic studies and completion of required on and off-site improvements;
- Payment of mitigation fees for fire and emergency medical services and police services; and
- A separate development agreement to mitigate the impacts resulting from the additional 1,000 units approved for the hotel/casino site.
