City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />March 11, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member Montain to table the <br />adoption of the New City Logo and Rebranding Action Plan, All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />4. Interim Ordinance Group Living Uses <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser explained the Interim Ordinance Group Living Uses. He stated this would freeze <br />future applications for any group living that would include nursing homes, senior living, group <br />homes, family daycare, etc. This will give the City time to study this question. For the next time <br />a nursing home or a similar facility, we can build criteria or a CUP or IUP. What this does is by <br />law allow us to freeze and not approve any future applications for a period up to a year or for how <br />long that study period goes. You cannot arbitrarily put a moratorium in place you have to have a <br />reason to do so. The reason is we don’t have criteria in our code that strictly governs these types <br />of facilities. He stated for right now we are not stopping anyone who has a current application or <br />any current business from expanding. All we are saying if a new business comes into town, we <br />would say no until the study period is done. <br /> <br />A lengthy discussion ensued. <br /> <br />Council Member Koski made a motion to approve the Interim Ordinance Group Living <br />Uses. He asked what else was needed to add to this because at this time our city code does not <br />cover this. <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser stated that there is a State Statute that asks cities to have two (2) meetings on <br />ordinances but there is no penalty for not obeying that, but if you were to obey that you would not <br />take a vote tonight. <br /> <br />Council Member Love seconded for discussion. <br /> <br />Council Member Love asked if they could put a shorter moratorium just to allow the Planning and <br />Zoning to dig deeper into this and actually build something into our code that we feel comfortable <br />with. Mr. Glaser stated yes. The moratorium law only allows you to have a moratorium up to a <br />year or you can set for a period as long as a study is in place. Council Member Love stated he <br />would feel more comfortable to have the Planning and Zoning Commission study this. He stated <br />he doesn’t know that Atlas gave them that crystal that we need to study in a larger facility that may <br />come in anyways. Mayor Paar asked how long? He answered 3 months. He felt this should be <br />plenty to time for the Planning and Zoning Commission to study it. He stated that this is a <br />reasonable compromise. <br /> <br />Mayor Paar asked Council Member Koski if he agrees to a 90 day amendment to the motion. <br /> <br />Council Member Lakso stated that we are not reinventing anything. She stated that they need the <br />time to do it right. She would take that as an amendment. Council Member Koski asked about <br />nine (9) months instead of three (3) months. He feels that three (3) months goes by too fast being <br />that Planning and Zoning Commission only meets once a month. He thinks we will need more <br />time. <br /> <br />Page 16 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
