WHEREAS, there has been rapid, sustained and substantial growth in residential housing units in and around the City of Opelika (the “City”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes, and hereby finds, that the rapid, sustained and substantial growth in the construction of residential subdivisions, condominiums, apartment buildings, townhomes and multi-dwelling units has increased, and will continue to increase, the burdens of the City to provide municipal services (i.e. water, sewer, power and communications), first responder services, public infrastructure, transportation, parks, recreation and other governmental services beyond what was anticipated by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to address certain challenges created by the growth with a strategic and deliberate focus on orderly land development in the City limits; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the quality of life for the community, and the health, safety and general welfare of the community will suffer if changes are not made to the City’s regulations, codes, ordinances, policies and procedures pertaining to certain types of residential developments; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a temporary moratorium on consideration of building permits and subdivision applications for residential subdivisions and multi-dwelling projects will allow the City’s staff, the City Council, the Planning Commission; other City Departments to evaluate, recommend and approve the changes that are needed to address the identified challenges; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the short-term moratorium on consideration of new subdivisions and multi-dwelling units is appropriate to prevent conditions that may threaten the City’s health, safety and general welfare; and
WHEREAS, the suspension of limited duration and limited scope would be in the public interest and promote orderly land development, permit infrastructure planning and development departments to respond to development pressures and promote the general health and welfare of the citizens of the city.
