At the last regular meeting, the city approved a State Route 9 North Vision Plan which expresses the
city's vision for the geographic area covered within that plan.
However, the city expressed some concern that if it received any zoning applications within the area of
the plan, it may not be in a situation to bring the city's vision forward.
The city was concerned it would not be ready to do that, however, the city is in the process of modifying
the zoning code to ensure that it can bring the vision forward when the time is right.
However, in order to ensure that occurs, the city expressed the desire to institute a moratorium for
acceptance for zoning applications within that area covered within the Vision Plan.
The resolution in front of you this evening constitutes one step in adopting this moratorium.
If this resolution is adopted this evening it would institute up to a 30 day moratorium.
In the meantime, the city will run a legal ad pursuant to zoning procedures law and will adopt a longer
term moratorium in order to give staff enough time to update the zoning code.
It will then be brought before the city council with public hearings and then a zoning ordinance will be
adopted that will allow the Vision Plan to be put into effect with respect to zonings.
This moratorium will not affect already zoned properties or the development of already zoned property.
It would simply stop any zoning applications from being accepted.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Longoria moved to approve Agenda Item No. 14-166.
Councilmember Lusk seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously (6-0). Councilmember
Mohrig was absent from the meeting.
