Resolution 2020-034 authorizing an Extension of the Temporary Moratorium on the Filing of all Applications for Land Use Development Permits and on the Scheduling of any Public Hearings or Work Sessions through May 31, 2020. Beth Oliver, Attorney's Office Executive Summary: On March 17, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Eagle County Resolution 2020-024, implementing a temporary moratorium on the filing and processing of land use development permit applications and on the scheduling of public hearings and work sessions for a period of forty-four(44) days, ending at 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2020 (the"Temporary Moratorium"). On April 16, 2020, Eagle County requested approval for exemptions from some portions of the state's COV ID-19 public health orders. The exemptions would provide Eagle County Public Health&Environment limited flexibility to start implementing plans that could slowly and incrementally reopen portions of the community in an approach that still aims to prevent a resurgence of the virus. The Governor is expected to approve the requested exemptions on April 23, 2020. The Temporary Moratorium ends on April 30, 2020, and the County desires to continue to take necessary precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the period of partial relief from Colorado stay-at-home orders. The County has therefore determined it is necessary to extend the temporary moratorium on the scheduling of public hearings or work sessions and on the filing and processing of land use development permit applications for an additional 31-day period, through May 31, 2020, in order to both avoid additional community spread of COVID-19 and to evaluate the operations of the County and monitor the spread of the virus. Jeff Shroll stated that the board was carefully monitoring the different models. The biggest concern was hosting a public hearing on a land use file and disenfranchising anyone from weighing in correctly. The planning team was still working and hopefully getting to a place where all the files could be addressed quickly when it was safe to do so. 2 04/28/2020 Commissioner McQueeney encouraged the community to recognize the unusual circumstances and be patience. Mr. Shroll gave a shout out to several developers for being understanding and acting with great patience. Commissioner Scherr moved to approve the resolution authorizing an Extension of the Temporary Moratorium on the Filing of all Applications for Land Use Development Permits and on the Scheduling of any Public Hearings or Work Sessions through May 31,2020. Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. 3.
