Since the adoption of Ordinance No. <br />2019-541, the City has been directly affected by the Novel <br />Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). On March 12, 2020, <br />following the Governor's declaration of a State of Emergency, the City <br />Manager also declared a Local Emergency, which has been renewed <br />every seven (7) days and is still in effect at this time. <br />As a result of the ongoing declared state of emergency, additional time <br />is needed for City staff and its consultants to conclude its studies, and <br />to process and implement potential changes to its Comprehensive <br />Plan and/or its Land Development Regulations pertaining to the <br />densities and intensities in the Town Center. Therefore, the proposed <br />Ordinance seeks to extend the moratorium established in Ordinance <br />No. 2019-541, by an additional six (6) months from September 19, <br />2020. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Description <br />Ordinance <br />Exhibit "A" (Added 7/16/2020) <br />Item Number: 9.A. <br />
