AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
ENACTING A ZONING MORATORIUM ON HOTEL /MOTEL BUSINESSES
IN THE CH- 10,000 ZONE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cypress ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. New hotel /motel uses, as defined herein, are hereby prohibited
within the CH- 10,000 Zone in the City during the term of this interim Ordinance
and any extensions thereof.
"Hotel /motel," as used in this Ordinance, shall mean a structure or
a portion thereof or a group of attached or detached structures
containing completely furnished individual guest rooms or suites
occupied on a transient, temporary basis for compensation. A "new
hotel /motel" shall mean a hotel /motel with respect to which dis-
cretionary land use approval has not been granted prior to the date
of this interim Ordinance.
SECTION 2. This interim Ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure to
prohibit any uses in the CH- 10,000 Zone which may be in conflict with a con-
templated zoning proposal concerning hotel /motel uses which the legislative
body is considering or studying or intends to study within the term of this
Ordinance. This Ordinance shall be of no further force and effect forty -five
(45) days from the date of its adoption unless extended pursuant to Government
Code Section 65858. Any conditional use permits for hotel /motel uses within
the CH- 10,000 Zone granted to date by the City Council are hereby exempt from
the provisions of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. The City Council finds that there is a current and immediate
threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of
additional subdivisions, zonings, land use permits, variances, building permits,
or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required in order to com-
ply with the Zoning Ordinance would result in a threat to public health, safety,
or welfare, in that the City is currently considering upgrading its regulations
regarding the location of and standards for hotel /motel uses in the CH- 10,000
Zone; the unregulated establishment of new hotel /motel uses within the
CH- 10,000 Zone in the City would result in a threat to public health, safety,
or welfare; and a reasonable time is needed for the City to study appropriate
zoning classifications and regulations for hotel /motel uses.
SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall require four (4) affirmative votes and
shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
