• Page 9 � with several land use applications and several inquiries con- cerning land use policy which have a potentially significant ' impact on Lake Minnetonka and the shore adjacent thereto. A detailed study of these problems has been ordered as part of the comprehensive planning process, which study is expected � to be ready by December 30, 1977. The City Council finds that approving one or two applications would seriously impair its ability to effectuate the matters considered in its compre- hensive planning efforts. Since the enactment of a revised Comprehensive Plan will undoubtedly modify existing zoning districts, the granting of applications during this interim period would be detrimental to the effectuation of the revised Comprehensive Plan and contrary to the purposes of the Zoning Enabling Act, Minnesota Statutes, §462. 351, et seq. 193. 020 . Restrictions on the Granting of Permits and Other Authority. No rezoning applications, conditional or special use permits, variances or other authority for additional development for commercial marina uses or authority for multiple docks in residential use districts in the area described in Section 193. 030 will be granted for any purpose which would be inconsistent with the intent of this ordinance, including but not limited to: A. Any application for the addition or expansion of existing commercial docks or mooring facilities or area, the construction or establishment of new dock facilities or moor- ing areas, the dredging of channels or any portion of the lake or establishing of any dock facilities which directly or indi- rectly would expand or tend to expand either dock, mooring or other boat storage capacity of any facilities to be used on or adjacent to Lake Minnetonka. This portion of the moratorium applies to all such facilities except single family residential docks which meet current regulations of the City of Orono and the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. B. Any new or additional structures of any sort used or intended to be used for the repair, storage, sale of boats and motors, whether those structures be with or without foun- dations and with or without walls and roofs. C. The construction of any new structure in those areas of the city zoned as B-2 lakeshore commercial or in those areas of the city where there are marinas that are legal nonconforming uses under the present Zoning Code. " D. Any increase concerning the number of boats on the facilities for any purposes, including boats owned by the marina operators for sale, boats owned by others that are placed on the marina premises for sale, or boats placed on the marina premises for rental to members of the public, ,or boats moored, docks or in any way stored on the marina premises for any purpose.
