• PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: 6/7/93 AGENDA ITEM: 1 ITEM DESCRIPTION: Public hearing on the proposed amendments to the commercial district's development moratorium, Chapter 5, ~5 of the city code.

Second, it will allow the city to remove most of the commercial uses from the development moratorium when the first phase of the zoning study is done and leave the more complex uses under the moratorium until the best way to regulate them is determined.
