WHEREAS, the City Council hereby update the six-month moratorium on any new subdivision and new development applications to allow time for adequate planning and a comprehensive review and revision of the applicable ordinances pursuant to Utah Code 10-9a-504.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF SUNSET CITY, as follows:
