ORDINANCE NO. 98-02
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 9%16 BY EXTENDING THE
DURATION OF THE MORATORIUM ON THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING
PERMITS IN MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
The City Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain:
SECTION 1- BACKGROUND
1. On September 15, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance 97-16, an interim
ordinance placing temporary restrictions on the issuance of building permits in
Downtown Development District No. 1.
2. Ordinance 97-16 is scheduled to expire on March 21, 1998 unless extended by the
City Council.
3. Ordinance 97-16 was adopted to allow time for a study of redevelopment options and
formulation of recommendations to the City Council by the Downtown Steering
Committee.
4. Ordinance 97-16 was also adopted to allow time for the appropriate recommendations
to be incorporated into the proposed new zoning ordinance.
5. The Downtown Steering Committee was scheduled to complete its work by the end of
February, 1998 but has not yet done so.
6. The tentative time schedule for review and adoption of the zoning ordinance by the
City Council contemplates that the ordinance will not be adopted until June of 1998.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
The City Council finds the following:
1. There is a need to extend the duration of the moratorium on the issuance of building
permits in Downtown Development District No. 1 to allow the Downtown Steering
Committee sufficient time to complete its recommendations to the City Council and
to make any desired changes in the proposed zoning ordinance prior to its adoption.
2. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462.355, Sub& 4, an extension of the
moratorium for 6 months to September 21, 1998 is adequate to protect the planning
process.
3. All other provisions of ord'mance 97-16 should remain in full force and effect.
