For the second

time in less than a year, Senoia has implemented a development moratorium.

The City Council

Monday night passed a moratorium on all new annexation requests and rezoning

applications.

Councilman

Robert Belisle made the motion for the moratorium, because he felt the

city needs more time to study water and sewer needs for its current and

future residents.

The City Council

made clear that any requests already "in the pipeline" could

still be developed, but the city would not deal with any new requests

until the city has more time to study issues.

The only dissenting

vote was Councilman Pat Tunnell.

"I'd hate

to think that during my entire term, we had a moratorium," Tunnell

said.

But the other

members agreed with Belisle's assessment and passed the motion 4-1. The

latest moratorium will expire in April of next year.
