Development Moratoriums
Taxonomy Code: TE-4525.4600-180
Programs that are responsible for making the decision to enact a moratorium to halt all or some types of development (e.g. large animal feed lots or residential subdivisions) until local officials can make critical improvements to their development decision-making process. Moratoriums are governed by state law, and are generally in force up to one year but can be extended for up to another 18 months. Specific time frames vary by jurisdiction. A community may use moratorium as a "time-out" in which to conduct a natural resource inventory or investigate in more detail critical natural resources or issues (e.g. impacts of septic systems on lake water quality). Moratoriums are timed so that the critical field information can be gathered and analyzed, implications discussed, and any needed revisions to policies and regulations made before the moratorium expires.
