Moratorium

DownZoning to Residential -1 (R-1)

- Decreases approved uses and development density

Requires a subsequent rezoning to permit additional uses and density, affords Council leverage

- Could be applied to the development nodes and transportation corridors in the study area

- Promotes vertical mixed-use development in a transit-oriented fashion

 

Applications for development not accepted during moratorium

Disadvantages

 

- Interim fix, which requires a subsequent rezoning to permit additional uses and density

- District may not result in uses and development type actually wanted

- Uncertainty for property owner and neighbors

- Loss of property value

- Expense to owner/developer of rezoning application

- Inconsistent with Land Use Plan
