Dion, City Attorney DATE: 3/18/2021 Ordinance Extending the Moratorium on the Submission RE: and Consideration of Zoning Applications in the Town Center District RECOMMENDATION: This Ordinance is presented for your consideration. REASONS: On September 19, 2019, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2019-541 imposing a twelve (12) month moratorium on the acceptance of applications for, the processing of, and the issuance of, development permits and development orders within the Town Center Zoning District ("Town Center"). Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-541, the City has been directly affected by the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). On March 12, 2020, following the Governor's declaration of a State of Emergency, the City Manager also declared a Local Emergency, which has been renewed every seven (7) days and is still in effect at this time. As a result of the ongoing declared state of emergency, on September 17, 2020, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2020-555 extending the moratorium for an additional six (6) months, to March 19, 2021. After careful considerations and discussions, additional time is needed for City staff and its consultants to conclude its studies, and to process and implement potential changes to its Comprehensive Plan and/or its Land Development Regulations pertaining to the densities and intensities in the Town Center. Therefore, the proposed Ordinance seeks to extend the moratorium by an additional six (6) months from March 19, 2021. ATTACHMENTS: Description Ordinance Ordinance 2019-541 Item Number: 9.C.
