Additionally, challenges to the City's adult use regulatory <br /> scheme exist in both state court and federal court; and . <br /> 2.

Until the City obtains a ruling from the Growth Hearings Board concerning the <br /> interim zoning and comprehensive plan amendments which is anticipated <br /> following the expiration of the existing interim regulations, and until such time <br /> as the City is able to make any required changes to comply with the Board's <br /> decision, the City's regulatory scheme is in jeopardy of being compromised <br /> absent the existence of this moratorium; and. <br /> 7. The City Council did hold a public hearing on the moratorium on May 8, 1996, <br /> amended the moratorium by the adoption of Ordinance No. 2145-96 and <br /> adopted findings and conclusions in Resolution No. 4264; and <br /> 1 <br />
