(A) Whenever the Planning and Zoning Board votes to recommend in favor of any proposed amendment to the city's Land Development Code, the City Manager shall issue an administrative order setting forth the proposed amendment and establishing a moratorium during which any city employee, board, or department will be prohibited from granting a development order or development permit for any development, as defined in Chapter 163.3164, Florida Statutes, that would be prohibited, with or without variances, in the event that the proposed amendment recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board is subsequently enacted by the City Council.
(B) Any administrative order issued pursuant to division (A) above shall be complied with by all city employees, boards and departments and shall be effective until the proposed amendment is enacted or rejected by the City Council. However, in the event that the City Council fails to enact or reject an amendment within ninety (90) days after a favorable recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Board any administrative order shall be deemed expired and shall be without further effect.
(C) Notwithstanding divisions (A) and (B) above, excepted from any administrative order is any project that has a validly-issued building permit, variance approval, or has a completed application meeting all submission requirements submitted for city approval, variance approval, or building permit approval prior to a vote by the Planning and Zoning Board in favor of a proposed amendment.
