The primary focus of this examination was to facilitate a coordinated review of existing regulations and their impact on future development patterns along the entranceways to Hillsborough also being the center of county operations . Over the past ten ( 10 ) months , this subcommittee has met in public meetings over 12 times with input from interested parties , and discussed the design standards , land use compatibility , and " user-friendly" application requirements of the EDD ' s , as well as transportation planning , in order to address a larger , more comprehensive area for EDD activities . From this discussion , it was agreed that , in order to assure that new development proposals would meet the new standards that are in the discussion , formulation , and input phase , at least a six ( 6 ) month moratorium would be needed in order to develop the new standards , implement them through a public hearing process , and adopt them accordingly . g Acraig \edd \moratorium ltr\ 11 -30 - 00\dg
