COUNCIL MEEHNQ <br />MAY 11 1998 <br />cmroFORONO <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: January 21, 1998 <br />ITEM NO.: ^ <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Liz Van Zomeren <br />Title City Planner <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: Request to Extend the Adult Use Moratorium to September 15, 1998 <br />On May 12, 1997, on a vote of 5-0, the Orono City Council adopted a moratorium on adult uses <br />in all commercial and industrial districts. The moratorium expires on May 12, 1998. The Orono <br />City Council recently adopted a moratorium on industrial uses. Staff has obtained copies of other <br />adult-use ordinances in the metropolitan area. Typically, adult-use ordinances include spacing <br />requirements from such uses as schools, churches and day care centers. Some ordinances limit <br />the number of adult uses through spacing requirements established by limiting the number per <br />block face. Other ordinances choose to cluster them in one area, a "red-light" district. Neither <br />of these approaches is regarded as appropriate for Orono because it is largely residential with very <br />little land zoned for commercial or industrial uses. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />To request an extension of the moratorium to run concurrently with the industrial district <br />moratorium which expires on September 15, 1998. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />To adopt or amend the enclosed resolution. <br />Attachments
