Planning & Zoning Commissionl Local Planning Agency November 10, 2010 Page 2 Ms. Sandra Smith, Chief Planner, reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated November 3, 2010, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy is on file in the Community Development Department). Ms. Smith explained this item was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on October 28, 2010 to provide a 180 day moratorium on approvals for the operation of cash only pharmacies, family medical practices and pain management clinics. Ms. Smith stated since the time this item was advertised, the City Commission has adopted Resolution No. 10-2199 to put legislation in progress that allows the City the ability to deny approvals for these types of businesses. Ms. Smith explained that the resolution would be in effect until the City Commission approves the moratorium for pain management type businesses.
