Walnut Grove council extends moratorium on downtown overlay zoning six months
Summary
Council voted to extend a moratorium on zoning actions in the downtown overlay to allow completion of the Envision Walnut Grove planning process; the extension runs until July 16.
The Walnut Grove City Council voted on Jan. 21 to extend a moratorium on zoning actions in the downtown overlay for six months to allow completion of the Envision Walnut Grove planning process.
Council moved to amend the meeting agenda to include the zoning moratorium extension under old business; the amendment and the subsequent motion to extend the moratorium were approved by a show of hands. The council set the moratorium's end date as July 16.
Council members and staff said the extension is intended to keep new development from moving forward while the city completes planning work that could change overlay zoning and permitted uses. The council did not adopt any specific zoning ordinance changes at the Jan. 21 meeting; the moratorium is a pause on zoning actions in the downtown overlay while Envision Walnut Grove proceeds.
The moratorium was placed on the agenda as an amendment and approved at the meeting; no additional conditions or ordinance language were adopted during the vote.
