<br />INTRODUCED BY: Mayor Bodnar
<br />AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE
<br />ADOPTING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE APPROVAL,
<br />ISSUANCE AND PROCESSING OF ANY APPLICATIONS FOR
<br />AND/OR THE APPROVAL OF ANY USE VARIANCES, CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS,
<br />ZONING PERMITS, BUILDING PERMITS, CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY OR OTHER
<br />PERMITS OR LICENSES FOR ANY BUILDING STRUCTURE, USE, OR CHANGE IN USE
<br />FOR ANY ASSISTED LIVING, MEMORY CARE, AND/OR NURSING HOME FACILITIES
<br />IN MAYFIELD VILLAGE
<br />WHEREAS, pursuant to the Village's Charter, as well as the Ohio Constitution, this Council has
<br />the inherent power to enact planning, zoning and business regulations and laws that further the health,
<br />safety, welfare and peace of its citizens, including restricting or prohibiting the location and operation of
<br />certain business uses; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Village currently regulates land uses in accordance with the Village's Zoning
<br />Code; and
<br />WHEREAS, care for the elderly is constantly evolving as the region's population continues to age
<br />and many assisted living, memory care and/or nursing home facilities have recently opened in the
<br />immediate area to address those needs; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Village desires to study the financial, safety and land development impact
<br />associated with adding assisted living, memory care and/or nursing home facilities in the Village; and
<br />WHEREAS, upon the recommendation of the Village's Administration, this Council has
<br />determined it to be in the best interest of the community's health, safety and welfare to undertake a review
<br />of the applicable laws, ordinances, business regulations, building codes, available market studies, and model
<br />ordinances from other communities to study the potential impact of the addition of such facilities in the
<br />Village; and
<br />WHEREAS, this Council believes that a temporary moratorium on the approval, issuance or
<br />processing of any applications for and/or the approval of any use variances, conditional use permits, zoning
<br />permits, building permits, certificates of occupancy and any other permits or licenses, will not deny property
<br />owners economically viable uses of their property, but will afford Village officials and this Council the
<br />necessary time to study any potential financial, safety and land development impact the addition of such
<br />facilities would have on the Village, its safety forces, and its resources and consider putting in place new
<br />or amended building, zoning and/or business regulations that may be found necessary.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of Mayfield Village, Cuyahoga
<br />County, State of Ohio, that:
<br />SECTION 1. For the reasons stated in the preamble above, the Village adopts, for a period of six (6)
