16 Regular Meeting April 9, 1984 Page 5 Mr. Coddington moved to amend the Ordinance to include a Section 7 as follows: "During the moratoria prescribed herein, no residential construction in excess of fifteen (15) units per acre shall be per- mitted in the City." Mr. Brown seco rrled the motion. The City Secre- tary read Section 7 in its entirety into the record. The Council voted unanimous approval of the amendment. There was a discussion regarding the City Manager's report to be made by June 4, 1984. Mr. Farr stated such matters should be addressed as water, sewer, traffic, particularly in Planning Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 and 17 of the City. Mr. Moore said it shouldn't be just recommendations of Staff but also of the Planning and Zoning Commissions. City Manager Gonzalez stated he would put this matter of the report on a future agenda for the Council's direction. Mr. Moore moved to amend the Ordinance to add the following language to the end of Section 2: "No builder, developer, construction company or any sim~lar entity or anyone working in consort with such an entity may receive a building permit for more than twenty (20) units of multi- family residential construction during this sixty-five (65) day mora- torium. Mr. Brown seconded the motion. Mr. Moore read the amendment in its entirety into the record. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Coddington, Farr, Craddock, Kissler, Moore. NAY: Guerra. ABSTAIN: None. During discussion Mr. Farr asked Mr. Boeker how many remaining LUEs- did we have. Mr. Boeker stated approximately 350. Mr. Gonzalez said we had requests for approximately 200 LUEs for reservation of future capacity. Mr. Gonzalez stated we have not received approval from Texas Water Resources for some of our alternatives and would request later in the month for authorization to bid the sewer plant. City Attorney Hankins stated the sludge injector would not be in place until October. Mr. Boeker was asked what the projection of LUEs would be with the sludge injector. Mr. Boeker stated there would be an addi- tional 1500 LUEs with the sludge injector and clarifyer combined. Mr. Gonzalez estimated the sludge injector alone would produce an additional 300-500 LUEs. Mr. Guerra asked Mr. Hankins who interprets the meaning of "substantial amount of construction" in Section 6 of the Ordinance. Mr. Hankins stated substantial would mean anything beyond site prepara- tion and would be interpreted by the Planning Department, Mr. Garza. Mr. Gonzalez stated the City was still several months away from full depletion of LUEs as all projects would not come on line immediately. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Garza what type growth was being permitted pre- sently and Mr. Garza stated mainly multi-family, commercial, mostly with low water usage and single-family is the lowest percentage. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Garza if he favored the moratorium being considered or a full moratorium of multi-family development throughout the City. Mr. Garza thought the moratorium needed to be extended over a larger area of the City. Although the area was not extended, the Council through the above amendments, did make the moratorium more restrictive. The Council voted unanimous approval for adoption of the Ordinance as amended. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration the adoption of an Ordinance on emergency, the caption which was read as follows:
