I. SUMMARY
On September 20, 3016, the public hearing was open and continued to October 4, 2016.
On December 15, 2015 and on January 19, 2016, the City Council adopted interim urgency ordinances 15-1574U and 16-1577U respectively extending a city-wide moratorium on the establishment and expansion of stand-alone convenience stores and on convenience stores with associated gasoline sales. These moratoriums will expire on November 17, 2016 and December 15, 2016 respectively (Exhibit No.1). City Council directed staff to evaluate the existing development standards for these uses and establish standards that would protect residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, limit the future proliferation of these uses, and protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community. The moratorium enabled staff to update City's standards as they relate to discount stores.
