Fayetteville planning officials aren't expecting a huge influx of new rezoning applications now that a moratorium on new developments has been lifted.

“I've been through this sort of thing before, and it's usually not as big a deal as you might expect,” said Maurice Ungaro, city planning director.

No new rezoning applications or development plans will be on the Planning Commission's February agenda, because the deadline for presenting plans in order to have them considered has passed.

Developers must submit plans by Feb. 11 in order to be on the March work session and business meeting agendas.

City Council lifted the moratorium Monday after enacting a new tree protection ordinance. Development has been halted since October, while city agencies discussed a new tree protection ordinance, also approved Monday.
