Ordinance; Community Development Director Shaw explained that at the last Council meeting, No. 1982, Urgency Ordinance No. 1982 to extend the development moratorium in Southeast Redlands failed to receive the required four-fifths vote for adoption. Quick thinking Development on the spot resulted in the hasty deletion of the urgency provisions of that proposed Prohibition ordinance, and a revised version of the ordinance was introduced for first reading with the understanding that a three-to-one vote would result in adoption of the ordinance following second reading. The assumption was that a four-fifths vote would be required to extend the moratorium with an urgency ordinance, but would not be required if the ordinance was not adopted as an urgency measure. Subsequent to the meeting, the City Attorney's Office has had time to carefully review Government Code Section 65858 and finds that an extension of the development moratorium would require; approval of four-fifths votes of the Council regardless of whether the ordinance is adopted as an urgency ordinance. Therefore, with this new information in mind, the ordinance as originally submitted to the Council is submitted once; again for further consideration in light of the City Attorney's research. Ordinance No. 1982, an extended urgency ordinance prohibiting development approvals in southeast Redlands until adoption of the pending specific plan, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember DeMirjyn, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, further reading of the ordinance text was waived.
