Killian introduces 90‑day moratorium on new residential subdivisions
Summary
The board introduced Ordinance No. 20‑25D on April 13 to pause consideration and preliminary approvals of new residential subdivisions for 90 days; the introduction passed on a unanimous voice vote. The moratorium is intended to give the town time to review subdivision standards and related policies.
The Killian Board of Aldermen introduced Ordinance No. 20‑25D at its April 13 meeting, which would place a 90‑day moratorium on the consideration and preliminary approval of any new residential subdivisions. Alderman Ronnie Sharp moved to introduce the ordinance and Alderman Corey Beasley seconded; the motion carried with Yeas recorded for Nick Guthrie, Wesley Bignar, Corey Beasley, Ronnie Sharp and Trevor Clardy.
The stated purpose of the moratorium is to pause approvals while the town reviews subdivision policy and procedures. The minutes record the ordinance introduction and the unanimous vote but do not include details about specific deficiencies or a timeline for drafting permanent changes; the moratorium was introduced at the meeting rather than formally adopted, which would require subsequent readings or actions as provided by municipal procedure.
The board did not record any amendments to the moratorium at introduction and did not set a public hearing date in the minutes.
