C0UNCILME£TINQ MAR ^ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION crrY cf c- DATE: March 6, 1998 ■^:0 ITEM NO: Department Approval: Name Ron Moorse Title City Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: C *' Ani-ni-trator's ‘Ifiport Item Description: Interim Ordinance Enacting a Moratorium Suspending Certain Uses as Permitted or Conditional Uses in the City's Industrial Zone The City Council recently adopted a resolution setting out a general concept plan for land use along Highway 12. The focus of the land use concept plan is to preserv'e the City's natural rural character, particularly in areas currently serving as gateway points to the City's rural residential areas, and to fachi:?te high quality development and employment opportunities. T he concept plan indicates the types of uses envisioned for the City's industrial zoned area are high tech manufacturing, medical, office/service, and similar uses. The City's Zoning Code currently allows uses in the industrial zone that are substantially contrary to the general concept plan and the Council's vision reflected in the concept plan. Therefore, it is recommended that the City conduct a study to determine the types of uses that are compatible with the general concept plan for land use along Highway 12, and the conditions under which these uses would be compatible with the general concept plan. To prevent incompatible uses from being introduced into the industrial zone during the period of the study, it is recommended that a moratorium be enacted which suspends certain uses as permitted or conditional uses in the City's industrial zone. These uses are as follows: 1. 7. Automobile and truck painting, major repair, body and fender work, upholstering, tire recapping, sales and storage. Storage repair and wholesaling of boats and marine products. Bus, truck and contractors terminals and maintenance yards. Lumber yards and mill works. Warehousing. Farm equipment sales, repair and storage. Motor fuel stations.
