[Ord. No. 564; Preamble, 1-27-1981; Ord. No. 1017, 5-26-2015]
The City of Williston's jurisdiction extends to all persons,
places and property within its boundaries and such extraterritorial
jurisdiction as is granted to it under the provisions of the law of
the state, and it was the decision of the Board of Commissioners for
the City of Williston to avail itself of the authority granted municipalities
by Section 40-47-01.1, N.D.C.C., and
In the year 2010 the City of Williston had a population of 14,716
according to the last federal census, and
The City of Williston has a Planning and Zoning Commission also
empowered to act as and to be known as a Zoning Commission, and
The boundaries of the City of Williston have recently been expanded
due to property annexed into the City, and
The City of Williston duly notified the zoning board or boards
of all political subdivisions losing their partial zoning authority
14 days prior to the City's adoption of this ordinance (Ordinance
No. 1017) in accordance with Subsection five of Section 40-47-01.1,
N.D.C.C., in which a zoning transition meeting was held and addressed
and reviewed the existing zoning rules, regulations and restrictions
currently in place for the territory to be extraterritorially zoned
and to plan for an orderly transition, and
The Zoning Commission has submitted its recommendations to the
Board of City Commissioners in the form of a preliminary and final
report after holding public meetings thereon recommending the expansion
of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction for exclusive jurisdiction
as provided in Subsection 1(a)(2) of Section 40-47-01.1, N.D.C.C.,
and
The land to be zoned and controlled by the City of Williston
is a large area where extensive planning is required so development
within the area will be done to maximum potential, and planning of
this magnitude necessitates intensive study of long duration before
final zoning regulations can be imposed, and
It is the intent of the City Commission that this interim zone
classification be in all respects a zone classification no less than
the other classifications heretofore enacted by this body within the
Ordinance No. 613, also known as Planning and Zoning Ordinance, with
all amendments thereto.
