Councilor Burley read the ordinance's explanatory "whereas" clauses and said the amendment to the Owensboro Metropolitan Zoning Ordinance requires additional time for review. He told the court, "Now we're determined that section 4 needs to be amended again to provide additional time for research review and determine future application of that amendment," and recommended placing a moratorium until Nov. 30, 2026.
