AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, repealing Ordinance No.
3678 and providing for severability and effective date.
WHEREAS, on September 7, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3678
providing for a moratorium addressing installation of any new surface style parking lot fronting
commercial corridors and imposing an immediate moratorium on the filing, accepting, processing
and/or approval of City applications for the installation of any new surface style parking lot
fronting commercial corridors in the City's Central Business District (CBD), Commercial Arterial
(CA), Commercial Shopping District (CSD), Commercial Neighborhood (CN) and Commercial
Office (CO) Zones and providing for severability and effective date; and
WHEREAS, on November 3, 2021, Council conducted a public hearing on the moratorium;
and
WHEREAS, on the basis of the information presented on September 7, and in the public
hearing on November 3rd, the City Council finds and concludes that the moratorium was intended
to be in effect only for a limited time to prevent proposals that are in contrast of the new regulation
being considered in land use code revisions; that continuation of the moratorium into the future is
not necessary to protect the interests of the City because the land use code revisions are scheduled
for adoption in December 2021; that on balance it is in the best interests of the City to allow for
incremental development prior to land use code revisions being adopted; and that the moratorium
be repealed.
NOW, THEREFORE,

FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Repeal. Ordinance No. 3678, adopted by Council on September 7, 2021,
