C.  
This item was requested at the Regular Commission Meeting held on  
June 16, 2025.  
Background:  
The City is proposing a nine month temporary moratorium on new  
residential development to allow staff time to evaluate the impacts of  
rapid growth on public infrastructure, services, and development  
regulations. This temporary pause will support a comprehensive review  
of the City’s land development regulations, Comprehensive Plan, and  
Capital Improvements Element, ensuring that future growth aligns with  
available infrastructure capacity and long term planning goals. The  
moratorium is narrowly tailored with exemptions for vested projects and  
non-residential development. The moratorium must meet the Dual  
Rational Nexus Test, meaning it mist (1) serve a legitimate public  
purpose - such as protecting infrastructure and ensuring orderly growth  
and (2) be proportional in scope and duration to the impacts it seeks to  
address. This action follows Commission direction from the June and  
June 16, 2025 meetings. However, pending state legislation (Senate  
Bill 180) may retroactively invalidate the ordinance, restrict the City’s  
authority to impose such moratoria, and expose the City to legal  
challenges and attorney’s fees. The Commission may also consider  
exemptions for infill or mixed-use residential projects at first reading.
