Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and <br />implementation would create impacts on the public health, <br />safety and welfare that the City Council, in adopting the <br />ordinance, found to be unacceptable; and <br />WHEREAS, Since the adoption of the Moratorium, City staff has begun to gather <br />data and research the impact of these industrial uses in the TZC as set forth in the <br />report issued by the City Council on May 7, 2204; and <br />WHEREAS, there is a need to study further the issues associated with industrial <br />uses in the TZC and the impact that these uses have on the adjacent residential <br />neighborhoods and their residents; and <br />WHEREAS, City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council each <br />require a reasonable period of time to study the existing SD-84/TZC and to evaluate if <br />further, permanent action to address the land use conflicts in the TZC is necessary; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to extend the Moratorium for a period of ten <br />(10) months and fifteen (15) days, or until the City Council adopts an ordinance <br />addressing the issues raised, whichever occurs first; and <br />WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on May 21, 2024, the City Council <br />heard testimonial evidence and all other evidence submitted from members of the public <br />that were present and from City staff.
