A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA ENACTING AN

ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATIONS FOR CONCEPT PLAN APPROVAL AND
APPLICATIONS FOR ISSUANCE OF LAND DISTURBANCE PERMITS FOR

DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Section 1.12(b)(26) of the Charter of the City of Milton, Georgia (“City”)
empowers the City to regulate development within the City limits through zoning; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 64 of the current Code of the City of Milton, Georgia (“zoning ordinance”)
divides property within the city into various districts, and regulates the use and development of
property based on the district to which the property is designated; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has asked the Community Development department to consider
changes to the development standards and requirements for the Crabapple Form Based Code
District (“Crabapple District”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council intends to consider amendments to the zoning ordinance with
respect to possible changes to the standards and requirements for the Crabapple District; and
WHEREAS, the Georgia Supreme Court has held that a moratorium with respect to application
of a zoning ordinance may be put in place for a reasonable period of time without the necessity of
complying with the notice requirements of the Georgia Zoning Procedures Law (“ZPL”); and
WHEREAS, the City finds a moratorium barring until July 25, 2017, the acceptance of
applications for concept plan approval and applications for issuance of land disturbance permits
for property located in the Crabapple District, to be reasonably necessary, the least restrictive
means available, a reasonable exercise of the City’s police power, and in the best interests of the
public health, safety, and welfare;
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA that:
1. The City does hereby enact a moratorium to bar until July 25, 2017, the acceptance
of applications for concept plan approval and applications for issuance of land
disturbance permits for property located in the Crabapple District, in order to
consider a longer moratorium after a public hearing and to consider amendment of
the zoning ordinance with respect to standards and requirements for the Crabapple
District.
2. The moratorium imposed by this Resolution shall terminate on the earliest date of
(1) July 25, 2017; (2) approval by the City Council of an additional moratorium
after a public hearing; or (3) the adoption of an amendment to the zoning ordinance
with respect to the standards and requirements for the Crabapple District.
2
3. The moratorium imposed herein does not limit the ability to submit applications for
concept plan approval or for issuance of land disturbance permits for property
located outside of the Crabapple District.
4. The moratorium imposed herein does not limit the ability of any property owner to
develop their land in accordance with previously submitted applications or
approvals.
This Resolution shall be effective upon a majority vote by the City Council as ratified by the Mayor
of the City of Milton, Georgia.
SO RESOLVED, the public’s health, safety, and welfare demanding it, this 21st day of June, 2017.
