Body

ISSUE AND BACKGROUND: 

The City Council has received complaints regarding the lack of development and architectural standards for townhome developments. The moratorium would provide the City the opportunity to evaluate existing design standards for new townhome units and to consider amendments to the zoning ordinances regarding towhome developments. The request is to establish a moratorium on the acceptance of rezoning and variance applications for townhome developments starting March 15, 2021 and extending through and including September 15, 2021, unless the moratorium is terminated sooner by an act of the City Council.

 

RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION:  Community Development recommends approval of a moratorium on the acceptance of rezoning and variance applications seeking to develop or otherwise use the property  as a townhome or for a townhome development from March 15, 2021 to September 15, 2021.
