Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance amending the Zoning and Development Code, Chapter 1, Article Ill, Section 1-50, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), regarding the definition of Living Unit Equivalent (LUE). (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 Planning and Development Code has a definition of LUE (Living Unit Equivalent) for water and wastewater, which is used to determine the size of water, reuse water and wastewater lines. The LUE is the amount of water used and wastewater produced measured in gallons per day. The revision is a reduction of the number of gallons per day for wastewater produced. This is due to better pipe materials, low-flow water devices and energy saving appliances.
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.
