THE CITY OF OR0I10 ORDAI"S: The Municipal Code of the City of Orona is amended by adding Ordinance No. 13, Second Ser4cs: SECTION 1. Statement of Polite. The City Council finds that the City is presently faced with the pcc:�ential of numerous appli::ctions for development in the Highway 12 Corridor Area of Orono, which potential has raised new concern for issues such as the most appropriate use of the land; the compatibility of low density residential development with commercial development; the interrelationship between development and highway accessibility; and, the provision of municipal services to +, e area. The City is in the process of reevaluating its Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other official controls, as they relate to the development of the Highway 12 Corridor. The Council finds that there is an overwhelming probability that land use controls and zoning provisions :;ill need to be updated and revised as they of.ply to the Highway 12 Corridor Area. The Council also finds that such amending is a process that cannot be accomplished until a detailed study has been completed and hearing held. During this interim period, it is desirable that the Council establish guides for the benefit of those who wish to uevelop property in order to bring atout savings in public and private expenditures and to provide to the public guides to fut:ire City action. The Council df!_ermin,�39 that there is an urgency involved because of the need tc control development during the interim period so that the henefits of prover planning gill not be lost, to prevent development which may add to the public burden, and to preserve the scatu<, quo pending adoption of t.,ase measures so that the Cit�- will not be impaired in its ability :o effectuate the Purposes an( - goals of these planning efforts. Since enactment of an am,.ndment will indoubtedly modify existing regulations concerning permitted lend use and soninq performance standard.,, the granting of various coning and permit applications during this interim period would be detrimental to the effectuation of the Cumprehonsive Plan and contrary to the purpose of the zoning enabling art, Finn^c,:,t7 ;tatutos 55462.351 et seq.
