If the Planning and Zoning Officer, after consultation with the Director of Public Works and the Director of the Office of Transportation, determines that the timing of capital projects or the need to ensure continuity in the transportation network makes it more efficient to delay the construction of all or part of proposed mitigation, the Planning and Zoning Officer shall require the developer to:
(1) delay the construction of all or part of the improvements to a date certain and sign a public works agreement guaranteeing the construction of the delayed improvements; or
(2) agree to pay the County the current estimated cost of the mitigation, which the County shall use to fund all or part of a capital project to improve the facilities that were to have been mitigated by the developer.
