<br />
<br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that the R-1 Residential Rural Developing
<br />district is currently under a moratorium for the subdivision of land. The purpose of the
<br />moratorium is to provide the City with the opportunity to perform a comprehensive planning
<br />process to deterlnine how growth will occur outside of the current urban service area. The
<br />moratorium is cun'ently in effect to about September 14, 2004. She stated the moratorium
<br />ordinance provides for exceptions when compliance may result in undue hardship. The Council
<br />has the autlmrity to grant an exception to the moratorium with conditions desirable for the
<br />protection of ttm public it~torest. No exception is ~o be granted unless the City Council finds the
<br />following:
<br />
<br />That ttncre are special circumstances or conditions affecting the property in question such
<br />tlnat strict compliance wou Id deprive the petitioner of reasonable use of the property.
<br />
<br />2. Tlnat tho exception is necessary for tile preservation of a substantial property fight.
<br />
<br />Tlnat tile granting of the exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
<br />injurious to other property in tile area.

<br />That tile cxccp~ i,,;. wi Il '.~c har~-;o~i ,~=.~ with and in accordance with the objectives of the

<br />That the proposed subdivision will be consistent with the intent and purpose of the
