    If the project or any portion involves dedicated senior or age-restricted housing, or is restricted to affordable housing as defined in section 420.0004, Florida Statutes, or workforce housing as defined in section 420.5095, Florida Statutes, as such statutes may be amended or renumbered from time to time, then a description of such housing shall be included in the narrative. The county shall require a separate development agreement with the applicant and/or evidence of recordable deed restrictions or such other recordable instrument acceptable to the county which memorializes and enforces such commitment to provide senior or age-restricted housing, affordable housing, and/or work-force housing.

    13.

    Depending upon the location, complexity or size of the proposed project the planning staff may request additional information necessary to complete the review of the project.

    This shall be considered a preliminary narrative at time of submittal of the request for zoning amendment petition. The Governing Body may require that a PDP narrative be revised to meet any additional conditions. If the Governing Body requires such a revision, the applicant must submit a revised narrative, meeting all conditions following the action by the Governing Body. In no event shall the applicant receive any subsequent development approval from the county until such time the applicant has submitted a revised narrative meeting the requirements of this provision.
