Public hearing. That public hearing is hereby called and will be
held before the City Council on Tuesday, August 15, 1995, at 7:30

Section 4. The City Council finds and determines that
the City's Zoning Ordinance, in authorizing the uses described
above in Section 1 of this interim ordinance, has resulted in a
proliferation and, in some areas of the City, an undue
concentration of automotive uses. This proliferation and undue
concentration of automotive uses has, in some instances, caused,
or is alleged to have caused, the depreciation of property
values, adverse impacts on the aesthetics of the surrounding
areas, jeopardy to public health and safety, and interference
with the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjacent properties, all
to the detriment of the welfare of the community and to the
optimum development of real property which is zoned for
commercial and industrial uses. The City Council intends
forthwith to conduct studies as to appropriate modifications to
the City's Zoning`Ordinance and other regulatory ordinances for
the purpose of prohibiting or further restricting the use of land
for purposes described in Section 1 of this interim ordinance.
Pending the completion of these studies, it is necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare
that this interim ordinance take effect immediately. In the
absence of immediate effectiveness, new automotive uses may be
established, or existing automotive uses may be expanded, so as
to conflict with regulations or requirements ultimately adopted

with respect to these uses -, and.this interim ordinance is

an urgency ordinance and it takes effect immediately.
