First 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 revision would:
• Align chapter 23 with the utilities 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
If approved, the Ordinance will be scheduled for adoption at a second public hearing on June 2, 2026.
