The moratorium has been in place in the downtown area since August 2005. Since then, the City Council has adopted new codes and ordinances meant to revitalize the city’s downtown area.

The moratorium was intended to block types of growth that might go against the city’s long-term plan. The moratorium blocks establishments and development that would need conditional-use permits.
