Design Guidelines, whichever comes first. Council will take special hardships under <br />consideration, as they do not want to impose a financial hardship on anyone. Davidson <br />stated that the public hearing for this Ordinance will be held on February 16, 1999. <br /> <br />Sisk moved that Council send Ordinance No. 1292, Series 1999, An Ordinance of the <br />City of Louisville, Colorado, Declaring an Emergency; Establishing a Temporary <br />Moratorium on the Processing of Applications for Approval of Preliminary PUD <br />Development Plans, Final PUD Development Plans, and Special Review Uses for <br />Properties Located Within "Downtown Louisville," as Defined Herein; and Creating <br />Certain Exemptions from the Moratorium out for publication and set the public hearing <br />for February 16, 1999, seconded by Mayer. <br /> <br />Davidson called for a roll call. <br /> <br />Bob Muckle, stated that he had submitted a request to speak on the Ordinance and asked <br />if he could do so. <br /> <br />Davidson agreed. <br /> <br />Bob Muckle, 1101 Lincoln, Louisville, Colorado stated that he is a resident of downtown <br />Louisville and encouraged Council to proceed with the moratorium until the traffic and <br />parking studies, along with the Design Guidelines, are completed. He asked that Council <br />include language that identifies what studies and tasks will be accomplished within the <br />set period of time for this moratorium. <br /> <br />Levihn asked Sam Light, City Attorney, if Council could allow some developments to go <br />forward but not any that have yet to come before Council. <br /> <br />Sam Light, City Attorney, replied Council could, however, it depends on the timing of <br />filing the applications. This Ordinance is simply a legislative act to impose a moratorium <br />across the board. It would suspend the processing of applications, any application filed <br />now or filed in the future. It is not intended to target any particular application, it puts all <br />applications on hold until May 17, 1999. <br /> <br />Levihn asked whether Council could allow the two applications in the process to proceed, <br />if they met the guidelines and parking requirements. <br /> <br />Davidson replied, yes, the Ordinance could be amended. <br /> <br />Howard asked to explain why he intends to vote against this Ordinance. He stated that he <br />does not want unbridled growth in downtown Louisville; however, he believes there are <br />other mechanisms that Council can consider to achieve similar goals without imposing a <br />moratorium upon the community. <br /> <br />Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 5-2 vote, with Howard and Lathrop voting <br />against. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
