<br />ma!Lthe City ased on
<br />the ts'of the ab ve-clted
<br />statutes, regulations and th general
<br />health, safety and welfare of the
<br />community. Tne City Council finds,
<br />however, that such a SYltem of
<br />planning, zoning, and re ulatory
<br />cO,n troIs cannot be effectlv unless
<br />reasonable measures are ta en for a
<br />rea' 'Ible interim period t protect
<br />th, IIc interest, by pr serving
<br />prE> ,patterns of development
<br />until the appropriate ame~dments
<br />and programs are adop ed and
<br />become effective. Any sl nificant
<br />variation during the interi period
<br />will destroy the integrity of the
<br />effort, the program and any possible
<br />amendments, and their baFic pur-
<br />poses and comprehensive ~spects,
<br />and will lead to furtherlng and
<br />,worsening of the problems facing
<br />the City.
<br />1.02 Legislative Intent. It is the
<br />intention of the City Counc I of the
<br />City of Elk River to pr ect its
<br />comprehensive plan and official
<br />controls in their implement tlon by
<br />hereby adopting, pursuant t author-
<br />ity vested in the City Co ncil by
<br />Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355,
<br />subd, 4, a reason~ble Interim ordi-
<br />nance for a reasonable tlm during
<br />consideration of the aforem ntioned
<br />comprehensive plan and official
<br />controls for the community to pro-
<br />tect the .publlc health, saf ty,' and
<br />welfare and prevent a ace of
<br />diligence between property owners
<br />and the City of Elk River during
<br />such consideration which ould in
<br />many instances, result in he con-
<br />tinuation of a pattte'rn of I nd use
<br />and development which w uld be
<br />inconsistent with the pro pectjve
<br />plan and ordinance amend ent and
<br />violate their basic intent an there-
<br />by fail to protect the health, safety,
<br />and welfare of the commun ty. The
<br />City Council determines t at the
<br />adoption of this ordinanc is es-
<br />sential to the preservatio of Its
<br />proper planning and zoning and In
<br />'''M . interest of the co munlty
<br />11~ health, safety and eneral
<br />weh_.... The City Council as fur-
