City Council Meeting 4/4/2023 Regular Agenda Item #__ ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Staff respectfully requests the Council consider adopting Ordinance No.2023-09, An Ordinance Terminating the Moratoria Declared by Ordinance No. 2022-03 that Imposed Moratoria on Certain Development Activity within the City. A public hearing is not required for terminating the moratorium. FINDINGS: The Ordinance terminating the moratorium imposed by Interim Ordinance No. 2022-03 is being proposed based on the following findings: • An update to the Stormwater Reuse in the Planned Unit Development Code has been completed to address the issues that were identified in the study and analysis of the area identified as a Water System Low Pressure Zone. • An update to the Irrigation Reuse Standards for engineering has been completed that addresses the issues that were identified in the study and analysis of the area identified as a Water System Low Pressure Zone. • An update to the Topsoil requirements has been completed to address the issues that were identified in the study and analysis of the area identified as a Water System Low Pressure Zone. • Based upon the completed study, analysis, and updates, the moratorium that extends south of Union Pacific Railroad and east of Keats Avenue on new platted development is no longer needed to protect and prepare for new development and assure that the capacity of the water system in the area can meet the demands of new development. OPTIONS: The Council may: • Adopt Ordinance No. 2023-09 as proposed. • Make amendments to Ordinance No. 2023-09 and adopt as amended. • Not adopt Ordinance No. 2023-09. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 2023-09 “Move to adopt Ordinance No.2023.09- An Ordinance Terminating the Moratorium Declared by Ordinance No. 2022-03 that Imposed a Moratorium on Platted Development within the Water System Low Pressure Zone” ATTACHMENTS: • Ordinance No. 2023-09 • Ordinance No. 2022-03 Page 2
