I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not have a recommendation as this was requested by the City Council to bring back for further discussion.
II. BACKGROUND:
On August 18, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4112 suspending the permitting of any new residential, commercial, institutional and industrial pool, spa, inflatable water slide or something similar, and decorative water fountain or feature for pleasure or business use, of any size, that requires or is part of a permit by placing a moratorium.
in addition this resolution restricts the use of inflatable water slides and other water plays structures. This will be in effect until the City proclaims the water conservation emergency to be over or this resolution is repealed by subsequent action.
When this item was approved the Council requested that this item be brought back to further discuss the option of permitting new pools if the applicant can provide documentation that outside water has been obtained to fill the pool.
III. DISCUSSION:
Staff is seeking direction from the Council as to whether they would like to amend Resolution No. 4112 and include provisions to allow new pools if an alternative water source can be provided.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None at this time.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time. |
