.' . The exception would allow the residents of the area to remodel or restore residential buildings . and experience minimal, if any, disruption. The more substantial impact would be that for the duration of the moratorium property that is currently undeveloped would have to remain undeveloped until which time as the moratorium expires or is terminated by Council action. All efforts will be made to expedite this process; to resolve the conflicting Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations, and to have the moratorium terminated as soon as possible. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance that would place a moratorium on the development of those parcels which show a conflicting status on the Zoning Map and Future Land Use Plan (as defined by the proposed draft moratorium) for a period of twelve (12) months unless terminated or extended by the City Council. Prior to enacting a development moratorium, staff would recommend defining possible parameters of review for the Planning Commission. Staff would suggest the following: . I. The Planning Commission shall evaluate whether the described parcels should be zoned as either Neighborhood Business or Single and Two Family Residential. After evaluating the described parcels for the correct Zoning designation, the Planriing Commission should make the necessary recommendations to proceed in resolving the conflicting Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations. a. Should the Planning Commission detennine that the described parcels should be zoned as Neighborhood Business; the Planning Commission shall review and recommend a rezoning of the property to reflect the appropriate Zoning designation. b. Alternatively, should the Planning Commission determine that the described parcels should remain zoned under the current designation and that the Comprehensive Plan should instead be amended; the Planning Commission shall review and recommend that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to reflect the appropriate Comprehensive Plan designation. SU22ested Citv Council ActioD I. Consider adoption of Ordinance #343, An Ordinance Implementing a Development Moratorium on Certain Property within the City of Arden Hills, (property as defined by the draft moratorium). 2. By motion establish the parameters of review for the Planning Commission in regard to the described parcels and the conflicting Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations .
