MORATORIUM: In a move that may signal the leanings of our new city council, councilors voted 5-0 last Tuesday night to impose a six-month moratorium on new development along the Animas River. The moratorium is intended to allow time for the council and city planning staff to create a new section of the Comprehensive Plan specific to the river corridor between 15th and 9th streets.

Both the city staff and Planning Director advised the council to use the Planned Development process that is already in place. The council elected, however, to install the moratorium.

At first glance it appears that this council, while not anti-development, is certainly not as developer friendly as its predecessor.
