Second Public Hearing to Consider Ordinance Amending Ordinance Relating to Adequate Public Facilities and Facility/Service Demand Calculations for Potable Water and Wastewater Treatment
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
On July 9, 2024, the Board of County Commissioner adopted Resolution 2024-155 revising rates, fees, and charges for water and wastewater utility services. As a result of this update, Level of Service (LOS) standards were also amended. However, the Land Development Regulations regarding Adequate Public Facilities were not updated to reflect this amendment. This Ordinance revision would:
• Align Chapter 23 with the Utility Department’s adopted LOS standards
• Eliminate duplication between Chapters 23 and 28
• Prevent inconsistencies when Utilities updates LOS by resolution
• Avoid the need for future planning Ordinance amendments each time Utilities revises the LOS
