Temporary land use regulation (moratorium) south of Pioneer Crossing and I-15
Approved · 5-0
Ordinance 2020-04-17 prohibits new development applications and subdivision approvals for up to six months. Mayor Frost read a statement that the city has enough water but pipes to the south cannot carry more, and COVID-19 made funding the upsizing uncertain. Bunker read Horrocks Engineering's John Schiess: with all reviewed developments and no improvements, velocities would exceed 7 feet per second on peak day and 10 at peak hour, well above standards. Projects had been approved assuming a CRA would fund the lines. Taylor and Carroll were reluctant and Shelton criticized putting all eggs in the CRA basket; Sensanbaugher said he had not heard of overdue reimbursements.

Revised temporary land use regulation south of Pioneer Crossing and I-15
Approved · 5-0
Ordinance 2020-05-20 repealed Ordinance 2020-04-17 and adopted a revised moratorium: no new development applications, but pending developments may build horizontal improvements and projects with final plat or site plan approval may get building permits; one TOD project may re-plat if units and water demand stay the same. Mayor Frost read a statement that water lines south of I-15 would exceed velocity and pressure standards at buildout and the city is seeking funding. Bunker said staff asked the state Division of Water Resources to add 200 South to its funding request and asked the financial advisor about bonds. Shelton questioned the benefit of keeping the moratorium.
