the proposed ordinance dealing with land use issues is
being considered by the Planning Commission and a. recom-
mendation thereon will not be made by February 15, 1981 ,
the Commission concurrently considered the extension
of the moratorium and recommends that it be extended
for a period up to eight months. He stated that upon
adoption of the controlling ordinances, recommendation
would also be made to lift the moratorium.
Here Councilman Beirich entered and joined the meeting.
In answer to questions by Council , Director of Community
Development stated that there are six projects which were
in the process of selling units at the time of the
adoption of the urgency ordinance, and therefore not
covered by it; and that legal counsel has indicated
that the Council could prohibit time-share in the City,
but it would have to make findings that same would be (103)
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.
Councilman Field stated that there has been dialogue
in the community relative to time-share and it should
continue and the Council should be receptive to it,
and that if such findings are necessary and within
the desire of the community, then they should be heard.
Mayor declared the hearing open; there being no
appearances, the hearing was closed.
