The City Council further finds that the approval of additional subdivisions, building permits, or other entitlements 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 and contemplated general and specific plan policies now being studied. Such prohibitions on entitlements protect and promote the planning process by, among other things, prohibiting the introduction of potentially nonconforming land uses that could defeat the City's later -adopted General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning ordinance. This moratorium further promotes the public's interest in the development of an accurate general plan document and protects the economic revitalization efforts in the City of Colton. Section 5.
