I"Reading: Publication: 2"d Reading: Effective: CITY OF LINO LAKES ORDINANCE NO. 09-21 INTERIM ORDINANCE CREATING A MORATORIUM FOR MINI SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF LINO LAKES The City Council of Lino Lakes ordains: Section 1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this Ordinance is to exercise the City's authority under Minnesota Statutes 462.355, Subd. 4 by the creation of an interim ordinance which has the effect of creating a moratorium on all mini self- storage facilities in Lino Lakes. Section 2. Preliminary Findings: The City Council hereby makes the following preliminary findings to serve as the basis for the necessary study to be made during the moratorium, which serve as the reasons why it is in the public interest for the City to declare a moratorium by virtue of this Ordinance: 1) City staff has determined that current regulations do not adequately address and regulate mini and self-storage uses, particularly given the increase in the prevalence of this type of use in metro area suburban communities. 2) A moratorium will provide sufficient time for the City to review the City's Zoning Ordinance, and study alternative regulations that might be adopted to adequately address the uses within the moratorium enacted by this ordinance. 3) A moratorium will also ensure that ordinance changes will not need to be expedited and that all issues related to mini and self-storage uses can be completely examined. Section 3. Moratorium: Until the Planning &Zoning Board and City Council complete studies related to the aforementioned findings, the City shall not accept or continue to process any land use applications for mini self-storage facilities. The study period will last no longer than one (1) year from the effective date of this Ordinance, unless further extended by the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 462.355, Subd. 4. Section 4. Effective Date: This Ordinance is effective upon publication of the Ordinance in accordance with the City Charter. 1
