Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance amending the Zoning and Development Code, Chapter 4, Article VI, Section 4-82 (e)(2), Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), regarding the determination of service units for multifamily uses. (First Reading)*
Body
The revisions to the City’s Code of Ordinances, creating the Zoning and Development Code, were published on October 1, 2018. Since that time, staff has identified changes which are intended to improve specific sections or to correct errors.
The Zoning and Development Code contains information used to calculate the impact fees for the City’s water and wastewater system, including a list of multifamily uses and their service unit equivalents per unit. The list includes several types of multi-unit residential buildings, but not one for hotel/motel/lodging/assisted living. The revision adds this category and its service unit equivalent, to more accurately reflect the actual water use by this type of us, thereby providing an accurate fee.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted 8-0 to recommend approval of this revision at their meeting on April 3, 2019. There were no speakers at the public hearing.
