REMARKS:
After the initial staff report was distributed to the Town Council on September 14, 2017, the
attached public comment was received from legal counsel for Grosvenor USA Limited (see
Attachment 2).
It is the Town Attorney’s opinion that the Extension Interim Urgency Ordinance properly meets
the requirements of the Government Code and that the required findings have been made to
establish a moratorium. However, the Town Attorney does suggest modifications to the
Extension Interim Urgency Ordinance as shown in Attachment 3 to clarify the difference
between processing and approving application(s) filed during the moratorium process.
