Planning Director Paul Wood explained Ordinance No. 1450, Series 2004, if authorized, would establish a temporary moratorium on the processing of applications for approval of rezonings, special review uses, and PCZD general development plan amendments for new residential development located within the City of Louisville. The ordinance defers determinations on new residential development until such decisions can be directed by the goals and policies of a new citywide Comprehensive Plan, which is anticipated for completion by March 2005. Based upon that timeframe, the ordinance declares that upon the effective date of the ordinance until March 31, 2005, no application for a rezoning, a special review use, or a Planning Community Zone District (PCZD) general development plan amendment for new residential development or use shall be reviewed, processed, approved, issued, or otherwise acted upon by the City of Louisville. The ordinance further finds that the moratorium should not affect any residential development or use under a Final Planning Unit Development Plan, Special Review Use, or PCZD General Development Plan, which has been finally approved by resolution by City Council and is in conformance with all ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the City.
