The Ordinance may halt <br /> development for one year and may be extended for up to eighteen <br /> additional months. <br /> The Ordinance would become effective following the date of <br /> publication. However, the Ordinance cannot delay subdivisions <br /> which preliminary approval has been given prior to the effective <br /> date of the interi.m Ordinance. <br /> The Ordinance should be considered at a public hearing before <br /> the City's Planning Commission. The Public Hearing should be <br /> preceded by ten days published notice. The Ordinance must be <br /> approved by three affirmative votes of the City Council.
