These new requirements raise complex and novel zoning, planning, legal, and public infrastructure issues. Detailed guidelines will be informative to the city and its planning and zoning processes for siting multi-family residential uses. There is significant continued interest in the development of land and buildings for multi- family residential uses within the city which require consideration of how such development corresponds to various public infrastructure impacts. This section will allow the city time to undertake any necessary planning or zoning process to address the potential impacts of housing in the city and consider the Department’s forthcoming detailed guidelines (once issued) and whether to amend its Zoning Ordinance. B. Temporary Moratorium (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Zoning Ordinance to the contrary, no special permit or site plan approval shall be issued for construction of multi- family housing projects for the period commencing on the first publication of notice of the public hearing on this zoning ordinance amendment and ending 90 days from the date of approval of this zoning amendment by the City Council. This moratorium shall apply to any use of land for a building with 3 or more residential dwelling units or 2 or more buildings on the same lot with more than 1 residential dwelling unit in each building, in all zoning districts in the city. In no case shall the City accept an application for special permit or site plan approval for said housing project during this period. (2) The provisions of this section shall not apply to an application for a special permit or site plan approval filed with the City Clerk, or granted, prior to the date of the first publication of notice of the public hearing on this zoning ordinance amendment. (3) Notwithstanding this section, the Building Commissioner may authorize submittal of such an application pertaining to existing housing deemed by the Building Commissioner to constitute blight, a dilapidated building, a hazard or a nuisance, as defined by section 485-2 of the City Code; provided, however, that the Building Commissioner make any such authorization expressly conditional on the City Council's subsequent decision to process the application. APPROVED. First Reading, suspended; Second Reading, adopted; Passage to Enroll, adopted; Passage to Ordain; adopted. No objection to passage in one evening..” (Motion: Robey)
