Extension of PF Moratorium At its March 22, 1999 meeting, the Planning Commission held a hearing regarding proposed amendments to the Public Facilities section of the Zoning Ordinance. The Commission voted (8-1) to adopt action - tabling consideration of the proposed amendments. The Commission has directed staff to develop additional ordinance language regarding existing PF uses in the City — some type of Grandfather provisions. Planner Dillerud reported the work on this additional ordinance language would extend beyond the April 16, 1999 expiration of the PF Development Moratorium. The Commission recommends the Council extend the Moratorium an additional 3 months to allow careful consideration of the new language they have directed for the proposed ordinance amendments. The City Attorney prepared an ordinance extending the Moratorium through July 20, 1999, as recommended by the Commission. Pastor Michael Friend, Apostolic Bible Church, stated he was in favor of the moratorium extension and asked if the Council wanted input into the PF ordinance regarding three issues; requirements for acreage and buffering and addressing existing churches. Mayor Hunt volunteered to meet with Pastor Friend to review his concerns on these issues. Planner Dillerud pointed out that churches are permitted in the General Business Zoning District, which Pastor Friend was not aware of Dillerud offered to provide copies of the Lake Elmo Zoning code regarding churches in the General Business Zone to Pastor Friend. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn - to adopt Ordinance 9742 extending the Development Moratorium on Property located within the Public Facility (PF) Zoning District of the City. (Motion passed 5-0).
