OPTION 3 CITY OF CENTERVILLE ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE #____ SECOND SERIES AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM REGARDING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN MIXED-USEZONING DISTRICTS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS: SECTION 1: Purpose and Intent. The City of Centerville (“City”) recognizes significant public interest and concern over the complex nature of regulating the development and operation of development in mixed-use zoning districts. Development in these districts is regulated by the City’s Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan, and the Master Plan and Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville (a.k.a., Downtown Master Plan). New development in these districts must be performed pursuant to a planned unit development. Formal review and study of these governing documents and procedures may improve same, identify apparent conflicts, and clarify ambiguity. Moreover, the Downtown Master Plan, being developed approximately 20 years ago, should be subject to periodic review. Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355 allows the City to adopt a temporary interim ordinance for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date it is effective, to allow for such study and adoption of comprehensive plan, zoning and/or other official land use controls in order to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The same statute allows for the limited extension of the period under particular circumstances. The City concludes that review and study is required to clarify terms and conditions for development by planned unit development, in particular, such development in mixed-use zoning districts and development subject to the Downtown Master Plan. The City also concludes that periodic review and study of the Downtown Master Plan is required due to the age of the Plan and relevance to present and forecasted market conditions. There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City until such a study has been completed. SECTION 2: Prohibition.
