Without following the procedures otherwise required preliminary to the adoption of a zoning ordinance, the City Council, to protect the public safety, health and welfare, may adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated zoning proposal which the City Council, Planning Commission or Development Services Department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Such urgency measure shall require four-fifths vote of the City Council for adoption. Such interim ordinance shall be of no further force and effect 90 days from the date of adoption thereof; provided, however, that after said notice, pursuant to CVMC 19.12.060 through 19.12.080, and public hearing, the City Council may, by a four-fifths vote, extend such interim ordinance for one year. Not more than two such extensions may be adopted. When such interim ordinance has been adopted, every subsequent ordinance adopted pursuant to this section, covering the whole or part of the same property, shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the termination of the first such ordinance or any extension thereof as herein provided. Where a property owner alleges that a moratorium would cause undue hardship on his property to the extent that it would constitute a “taking” of property, the owner may request a public hearing by the City Council to determine if the property owner is entitled to relief from the effects of the moratorium. The City Council shall hold said public hearing within three weeks from receipt of a written request from the property owner. At the public hearing, the property owner shall set forth all reasons why relief is appropriate and the City Council may approve, conditionally approve or deny relief from the restrictions of the interim ordinance.
