1. What is the development moratorium that the City has approved?

It is a six-month period that began on July 16, 2018, during which the City will not accept, consider, or act upon rezoning applications, variance requests, or conditional use permits that would change the current, actual use of property in the area. In January 2019, the Board of Aldermen approved an extension of the moratorium. The moratorium expired on April 1, 2019.

2. What area of Brentwood is subject to the moratorium?

3. Why was there a moratorium?

The City has been exploring the redevelopment of the area and studying land uses to determine what land uses should be encouraged in the area in the future.

4. Does this mean I’ll have to stop using my property as I use it currently?

No. Even if the City changes future land uses in the moratorium area, as long as you continue to use your property for its current use, without interruption, your current use will be “grandfathered” in to the plan.
