The Board further stipulated that the moratorium will apply to projects requiring applications for special use or conditional use permits only. Completed applications for special use or conditional use permits accepted prior to the effective date of the moratorium will continue to be processed by the staff. As a matter of information, special use permits are required for residential projects proposing from 5 to 12 dwelling units or lots, and conditional use permits are required for residential projects proposing more than 12 units or lots. Zoning permits required for projects proposing between 1 and 4 units or lots will be affected by the moratorium.
