Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 17, 2012 Page 13 Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff had discussed a moratorium; however he advised that staff was against that, since they thought enough regulations were already in place based on previous land use discussions, the regulating plan, heightened over- all standards, and knowledge of what is happening in the AUAR and MPCA envi- ronmental reviews, and required traffic studies, all serving as a functional part in forming a policy base.
