Council staff to extend moratorium on gas-station development along Tower Terrace Road for further review
Summary
Staff presented a resolution to extend a moratorium limited to the use of gas stations on Tower Terrace Road while planning staff and council consider text amendments to Chapter 340; the temporary moratorium expires July 1 without extension.
Kara (staff) told council the council had earlier referred proposed amendments to Chapter 340 of the municipal code back to planning and zoning for further review and recommendation specific to gas-station uses on Tower Terrace Road. Because the temporary moratorium that halted new gas-station permits is set to expire July 1, Kara presented a resolution to extend the moratorium only for that use and location to allow additional time for review.
Why it matters: extending a targeted moratorium preserves the status quo while staff and planning bodies examine zoning language and potential ordinance changes for a corridor with active development interest.
Next steps
Kara said the resolution would extend the moratorium as to gas-station uses on Tower Terrace Road and give staff and planning bodies additional time for analysis. The item will be placed on the Thursday council agenda for action.
Ending: Council did not vote at the work session; staff will return with the extension resolution for council action on Thursday.
