Moratorium urged on Lincoln residential development
Lincoln area planning chief Doug Brogden calls for a one year moratorium on new residential development in four zones while a new zoning code is drafted. The plan targets agricultural, agricultural residential and reserve areas near the city. Affected sites include land around towns or lakes and land in the county for non agricultural use. Public discussion set for July 27 with August to adopt guidelines and required approvals by City Council and County Board. Brogden also proposes transferring Gateway Shopping Center and Highlands North to J 1 zoning to require a special permit for future development.
