Mounds View Planning Commission December 1, 1993 <br /> •egular Meeting Page 3 <br /> Planner Harrington stated that such <br /> moratoriums are legal, provided that the <br /> City intends to study the impacts of the <br /> use during the moratorium. There is <br /> currently a moratorium on the <br /> establishment of adult uses. <br /> Commissioner Nelson asked about the <br /> timetable for the study of the car lot <br /> issue. <br /> Planner Harrington replied that the <br /> Growth, Development, and Business FOCUS <br /> 2000 group will be making their recom- <br /> mendations by March; the Planning Comm- <br /> ission should wait for those conclusions <br /> prior to beginning their own study. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson asked whether it <br /> would be more appropriate to specify a <br /> moratorium on "dealerships" rather than <br /> "lots" . The Commissioners discussed <br /> • this point at length. Planner <br /> Harrington stated that many different <br /> chapters of the code affect car sales, <br /> some dealing with lots and others with <br /> dealer licensing. In this case, the <br /> intent of the moratorium is to cease a <br /> land use, not the issuance of a license. <br /> Chair Peterson noted that this is only a <br /> recommendation and wording can be chang- <br /> ed by the City Council if necessary. <br /> Commiss ie-ner'-Rugg+es-made-severa-1 <br /> wording changes to the proposed <br /> resolution. <br /> Motion/Second: Ruggles/Miller to <br /> approve Resolution No. 373-93, <br /> recommending the establishment of an 18 <br /> month moratorium on new and used car <br /> lots within the City of Mounds View as <br /> amended. <br /> 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 110 <br />
