Item #21 - First Reading of Ordinance No. 121, 2023, Amending the Land Use Code to include Regulations for Making Water Adequacy Determinations
04:07:29The purpose of this item is to adopt Land Use Code provisions to add specific regulations outlining how the City will make water adequacy determinations for development. The proposed regulations are divided into three different categories for: (1) established potable water supply entities; (2) new, or other potable water supply entities; and, (3) non-potable water supply entities. The goals of these changes include: complying with Colorado state statutory requirements (Section 29-20-301, et seq., C.R.S.); ensuring development has an adequate water supply; providing City staff with guidance to make these determinations and applicants with certainty on the requirements; and ensuring that growth and development in the City occur in a planned and coordinated manner. Other than minor, non-substantive clarifications, the proposed regulations are the same as those discussed at the June 6, 2023, Work Session. The Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended adoption of the proposed regulations (4-2 vote).
