specific plan or zoning proposal which the City is studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Such an ordinance must be approved by 4/5 vote of the City Council. The approval of a moratorium for the Regional Park Study Area is a tool to allow the City time to effectively establish a compatible land use and implementation plan for development of the ultimate Regional Park and surrounding uses. The moratorium ordinance would restrict approval of land use entitlements and other permits that would result in a current and immediate threat to the public safety, health, or welfare because consideration and approval of such uses may be inconsistent with proposed land use designations that are being contemplated as part of the City's General Plan program. The moratorium would protect and promote the planning process by, among other things, prohibiting the introduction of potentially nonconforming land uses that could defeat the land use goals of the City's later -adopted General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning ordinance. A moratorium would further promote the public's interest in the development of an accurate General Plan document and protect the economic revitalization efforts in the City of Colton. FINANCIAL IMPACT: An unknown financial impact may result from the temporary loss of application and permit fees. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The proposed Urgency Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; it prevents changes in the environment pending the completion of the contemplated general plan and zoning code revisions and related impact studies.
