s
Mayor Hanna called• the meeting to -order with eight aldermen
present.
MORATORIUM ON ANNEXATION AND REZONING -
Mayor Hanna stated' the reason for this special meeting is to
discuss the moratorium that was passed -on Tuesday. He has been
requested by several aldermen -to call the meeting to discuss the
moratorium and answer questions.
•
Mayor Hanna apologized for allowing procedure to be violated at the
Tuesday night meeting. He stated he should not have allowed the
moratorium to be voted on at that meeting. He stated the City has
proper parliamentary procedures, and he will try and follow them
from now on. A new item should be discussed at an agenda session
or be placed under other business. He stated the procedures need
to be followed rather than voting on something on the spur of the
moment.
•
Mayor Hanna stated the City does have a 20 year plan in place. In
1989, the A.L. Raby Plan Group had almost completed the update on
the 20 year plan. ,In May of 1989 a draft copy of the plan was
ready, and he understands there were copies of a further revised
plan in September or October of 1989, but he does not have a copy
of that release. The plan tells about what the City will be doing
the next 10 years. There is no actual zoning details, rather the
plan outlines what type of growth can be expected for particular
areas. The Unified Development Ordinance was being prepared
simultaneously with the master plan. Version two of the unified
development ordinance was presented September 21, 1989. There was
a Dallas law firm working with Raby on these projects.
Mayor Hanna stated it seems that some of us do not understand that
we have been using these• plans even though they have not been
officially adopted. There are maps on the wall (in the Council
Room this evening) showing the zonings and the general plan that
was revised and adopted by the Board of Directors in 1983. He
