NEW BUSINESS URGENCY ORDINANCE T294 MORATORIUM ON RESTAURANTS
Councllman Amstrup noted City Attorney had prepared an Urgency
0rdinance Imposing a Moratorium on Restaurants at hls request.
City Attorney reviewed the ordinance and noted that it was only
effective for 45 days due to new legj-slation but it may be extended
beyond that period for up to one year after notice and a public
hearing. It would require four-fifths voLe to be adopted.
Council discussed at length: noting many requests to stop the many
restaurants coming 1n; areas needing protection were Burlingame Avenue
area and Broadway Avenue area; need for further study or study by
Planning Commission; need to take action immediately, can schedule
public hearing and extension after.
Councilman Pagli-aro could not find this issue a cause for an urgency
ordinance, what have restaurants to do with the public peace, safety
and welfare. City Attorney noted that the parking impact of
restaurants was the cause for urgency ordinance.
Councilwoman Barton moved adoption of URGENCY ORDINANCE L294 adding
wording to define areas covered as the Burlingame Avenue Commercial
Sub-Area A and the Broadway Commercial Area, including lots fronting
