Subject: Ordinance No. 1062: Water Impact Analysis Ordinance
Action
Requested: Consider 1" Reading approval of proposed Ordinance No. 1062
Background
Information: The Water Impact Analysis Ordinance is being proposed as a result of the
adoption of Southlake 2030: Water Conservation Master Plan. The Water
Conservation Master Plan recommended that the development of an ordinance
to provide for water consumption impact analysis for development projects
reaching specific thresholds be adopted. Staff has since developed an
ordinance that meets the intent of this recommendation and is presenting it to
City Council for consideration.
The purpose of this ordinance is to provide projected potable water
consumption information to city staff and elected or appointed officials for
proposed new development or redevelopment that may limit the city's ability to
supply adequate water supply or potentially have a significant impact on the
City of Southlake's water supply or its adopted Water System Master Plan.
Financial
Considerations: None.
Strategic Link: The Water Impact Analysis Ordinance relates to the Infrastructure, Quality
Development and Performance Management & Delivery focus areas of the City
of Southlake's strategy map.
Citizen Input: A Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) meeting
was held on April 22, 2013. A report of this meeting can be found as
Attachment (A) of this memo.
City Council: If approved at 1st Reading on June 4, 2013, the public hearing will be held on

Analysis or move forward with the Ordinance No. 1062: Water Impact Analysis
as presented.

SUMMARY
The Water Impact Analysis Ordinance is being developed as a result of the adoption of the Southlake
2030: Water Conservation Master Plan. The purpose of this ordinance is to provide City staff along
with elected officials an estimate of water consumption for a proposed development project based on
average water consumption data for similar type existing developments within the City.
COMMENTS/ QUESTIONS I FEEDBACK
• Why not require this for all development projects?
o There are some development projects, though few, which are not required to go
through a public hearing process. This is the point in the process where we would
intend for the developer to provide this information. The main goal of this ordinance is
to provide staff and City Council a general idea of how much water a development may
impact the City's water system, particularly if it being developed inconsistent with the
City's future land use map. The City's water system is planned for based on the
adopted future land use map.
• Are the City's rates much more expensive than other cities?
o I believe the rates for Southlake are just about average if not maybe a bit higher. I do
know there are other cities which charge much more depending on usage, just as
Southlake does.
• Is there a way to notify residents that our rates will be going up rather than hitting us all abruptly
with the high cost?
o I'm sure there is and I would think that if there is going to be any kind of significant
change within our rates that our utility billing division would notify in your water bill. This
is mostly part of another recommendation that came out of the water conservation
master plan where the city would frequently analyze the rate structure having
conservation being a driver for determining rates.
From a regional perspective, is the City having discussions with the other area cities about this
problem and how we can plan for it?
o There has been some discussion in the passed on regional basis but even more
importantly is the state has had the discussion. Texas does have a state water plan
that has additional sources of water that are expected to also provide additional water
for the Metroplex. The funding for a large percentage of these additional sources of
water that is to come from conservation measures.
Why doesn't Southlake do more or the state do more to conserve water?
Southlake is taking its first steps in a comprehensive approach to begin tackling the
water conservation topic. Other cities have more stringent requirements but Southlake
has laid out some framework of future measure we will be looking into and potentially
adopting through the recommendations of the Water Conservation Master Plan. This
ordinance coming from one of those recommendations. In terms of the state's action,
Texas is one of the more proactive states to address water conservation and has a
very comprehensive plan on how to deal with the issue through the state water plan.
How can we get the state or city to do more?
Just like with any other issue that involves elected officials, it's important to
communicate your concerns to your state legislators. In terms of the City of Southlake,
know that our Council very much so considers this an important topic and is the
reason the water conservation master plan was adopted last week so staff can have
some direction on what measures for conservation to look into and adopt.
If we require pressure regulated heads on commercial properties irrigation systems, why not on
all types of properties?
don't know why we required it only on commercial properties in the past, but in the
water conservation master plan we do have a recommendation to look into adopting
some revisions into the plumbing code
