The moratorium will expire upon publication of the new ordinance, or JanuaryT <br />26, 2024, `vhichever occurs first. <br />As a YemindeY, the following key components of Secrion 30-801 weYe recommended by the commission to be <br />updated in the home occupation ordinance: <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A 2a�elcolning co�nlnunity 2a�ith � evolutiona� y and spizzted T esou� cefulness, exceptional <br />se�vice, and coln�nunity engageynent that encou�ages and ins�iz•es pro�pe�zty. <br />rowEREo er <br />�I'1 ���� <br />Update�l• January 2023 <br />
