Title
A. Consider scheduling a special City Council meeting to be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 7:00 p.m., to conduct a public hearing regarding a moratorium on applications and plans for development for permits, plats, verifications, rezonings, site plans and new or revised certificates of occupancy for multi-family developments within the corporate City limits of Mesquite and consider an ordinance, on first reading, establishing the moratorium.
B. A resolution authorizing a temporary moratorium to take effect on applications and plans for development for permits, plats, verifications, rezonings, site plans and new or revised certificates of occupancy for multi-family dwellings within the corporate City limits of Mesquite.
Body
This agenda item will allow the City Council to schedule a special City Council meeting to be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. and to approve a resolution acknowledging a temporary moratorium on applications and plans for development for permits, plats, verifications, rezoning, site plans and new or revised certificates of occupancy for multi-family developments within the corporate City limits of Mesquite.
A temporary moratorium provides a short period for the City Council to conduct requisite public hearings and issue written findings to justify imposition of a moratorium. During that time, staff is authorized to reject applications and other forms of submittal for approval of multi-family developments. Should the City Council adopt a moratorium on December 17, 2018, staff will have up to 120 days to prepare additional development requirements for multi-family developments within the city limits.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends the City Council schedule a special City Council meeting to be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. and approval of the resolution.
