Item III · City code
Proposed water conservation ordinance
Discussed
The community development director said changes would set a maximum lawn amount for new single-family and commercial construction so residents remain eligible for water district grants and rebates, with about 25 to 35 new homes built each year. The council supported sending it to the Planning Commission for review and a hearing.
