City Commission Adopts New Policies for Large Volume Water and Wastewater Services
The City Commission adopted two policies related to large volume water and wastewater service. Resolution 3785 establishes a Large Volume Water Service Policy, and Resolution 3796 adopts a Large Volume Wastewater Service Policy. Both policies aim to create a comprehensive framework for evaluating and assessing large users of water and wastewater services, ensuring that these users cover the costs associated with infrastructure improvements and do not unduly burden existing ratepayers. The policies include requirements for service agreements, financial assurances, capacity reviews, and conservation measures, aligning with industry best practices and state law.
City Commission Approves Digital Infrastructure Overlay District and Rezones 11 Tracts for Industrial Development
The City Commission considered and approved an ordinance to establish a Digital Infrastructure Overlay District (DIO) and rezoned 11 tracts of land to light industrial and industrial flex classifications. The DIO aims to provide a framework for evaluating and regulating future digital infrastructure projects, including requirements for studies, site design, development agreements, and protection of adjacent properties. The rezoning itself does not approve a specific project but allows for industrial uses, with additional review required for digital infrastructure development within the DIO. The approval of the DIO and rezoning required a supermajority vote due to a protest petition.
