Council extends development moratorium for up to six months to finish UDO work
Summary
Easley council voted to extend a temporary moratorium on acceptance and review of zoning, development and construction applications to allow more time to complete the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
The Easley City Council voted Dec. 9 to extend a temporary moratorium that suspends acceptance, review and action on zoning approvals, development and construction permits for an additional period (up to six months), giving the city more time to finalize its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
Council members who spoke on the item said they had supported an earlier six-month moratorium and that, with significant progress on the UDO, an additional brief extension would allow staff and council to finish work and move the document through commissions and council. One council member noted they expected the UDO to be completed within a few months and that the extension was intended to provide sufficient time to finish the process rather than to indefinitely delay projects.
The motion to extend the moratorium was brought to the floor and approved by the council; no detailed roll-call results appear in the public transcript, but the presiding officer announced the extension and the council moved on to subsequent agenda items.
