118, WHICH EXTENDED, A MORATORIUM ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF VACANT PROPERTY IN THE ONE -

WHEREAS, interim Ordinance No. 117 was adopted on November 16,
1989, as an urgency ordinance, and imposed a forty -five (45) day
moratorium to prohibit the filing, issuance or approval of any land
use entitlement for vacant R -1 and R -E zoned property until a
comprehensive system for the compatible and orderly residential
development of vacant property could be determined; and
WHEREAS, interim Ordinance No. 118 was adopted on December 20,
1989, as an urgency ordinance to extend the moratorium an
additional one hundred twenty (120) days; and
WHEREAS, the moratorium is no longer required because the City
Council has initiated an amendment to the City Zoning Code to
require that a Residential Planned Development Permit be obtained
for all residential development consisting of five (5) or more
separate lots or dwelling units, regardless of the actual
residential zone designation; and
WHEREAS, there is evidence in the public record that the
moratorium has resulted in financial hardship to property owners
of existing residential lots who have not been able to obtain a
building permit for a single - family residence; and
WHEREAS, repeal of Ordinances Nos. 117 and 118 is now
considered necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health or safety to remove the restriction against issuance
of building permits for designated R -1 and R -E zoned property and
thereby avoid further impacts to the overall economic welfare of
the citizens of Moorpark;
