Background
At the February 21, 2022 hearing, the City Commission, by consensus, gave authorization to the Acting City Manager to explore a moratorium on rezoning applications that involve requests for increases in single-family detached residential density from existing zoning entitlements. Please refer to the attached staff report for further information.
On May 18, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Board heard Ordinance No. 12-2022. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to forward this ordinance to the City Commission with a recommendation to approve the moratorium on Future Land Use Map amendments and rezoning requests that result in an increase of single-family detached residential density entitlements.
Ordinance No. 12-2022 was heard and approved at first reading by the City Commission on June 6, 2022.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of scrivener’s errors and the like.

b. There may be reputational ramifications; and
c. The City may be confronted with various applications for increases in single-family detached residential land use entitlements prematurely.
