<br />E. On June 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 0-05-21 which
<br />extended the Moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government
<br />Code Section 65858, which authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section
<br />65090 and a public hearing, to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for 10 months and 15 days,
<br />upon approval by a four -fifths vote, and upon making the same findings required for initial adoption of the
<br />Moratorium; and,
<br />F. The Moratorium will expire on May 3, 2022, unless extended pursuance to Government
<br />Code Section 65858, which authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section
<br />65090 and a public hearing to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for a final one year period; and,
<br />G. Government Code Section 65858(d) requires the City Council, ten days prior to expiration
<br />of the Moratorium or any extension thereof, to issue a written report describing the measures taken to
<br />alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium; and
<br />G. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), on April 5, 2022 the City Council
<br />approved and issued the ten-day report, describing the measures being taken to alleviate the conditions which
<br />led to the adoption of the Moratorium; and
<br />H. The City of Colton has determined that, due to the recent and rapid expansion of e-
<br />commerce in recent years, the City has seen an exponential increase in industrial developments within the
<br />City and neighboring communities, particularly warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities
<br />(collectively, "Warehouses"), which include any use for the conduct, business, or management of
<br />warehousing, storing, safekeeping, freight forwarding, handling, keeping inventory, and/or distribution
<br />activities for any product or component, including but not limited to goods, wares, consumer products,
<br />materials, or merchandise, partially or wholly within an enclosed space, building, or other structure and
<br />truck storage facilities, which include truck terminals, truck and/or container storage yards, and truck and/or
<br />container parking and related uses (collectively "Truck Storage Facilities"); and
<br />I. With this increase in Warehouses, residents and businesses within the City have faced
<br />increased truck traffic and the following related adverse impacts:
<br />• Increased safety risk for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists;
<br />• Damage to City streets and property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported),
<br />such as street lights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.;
