Mayor Craddock introduced a report from the Citizens Advisory Committee and the Staff regarding an amendment to the Moratorium Ordinance 1984-70 adopted June 13, 1984. Mr. Robbins stated the Citizens Advisory Com- mittee on October 16, 1984 made the following recommendations to the Council that the Priority Area II moratorium be lifted based on the development of a capital improvement program to correct the identified infrastructure deficiencies there and allowing development in the Bar- bara Drive area that will not adversely impact infrastructure problems or that will mitiqate them. The Committee recommends: (1) the infra- structure problems necessitating a moratorium in this area have been identified; (2) the costs for these improvements have been determined; (3) that water and wastewater improvements in the Priority II area have been funded; (4) that street and drainage improvements will be made on a high priority bases as part of a comprehensive City Capital Improvement Program in the future; (5) that development proposals that cannot be ade- quately served by the infrastructure or that will exacerbate existing problems will not be approved or authorized; therefore, the moratorium in the Priority II area/Barbara Drive area should be lifted; and (6) and that subdivision plats, zoning changes and building permits will not be approved for any new development in the Priority II area that will adversely impact water, wastewater, drainage and street deficiencies in the Priority II area or elsewhere. The determination as to adverse infrastructure impact will be made by the Director of Public Works and the City Engineer. Mr. Coddington expressed concern for the Council acting on the Ordinance as an emergency and preferred three readings. Mr. Gonzalez indicated if three readings were held on the Ordinance rather than adoption by emergency, the Staff could develop standards and present them before third reading and also list the projects the City was aware of in the area. Mr. Hankins wanted adverse impact de- fined in the Ordinance.
