A "Competitive Matter" is a utility - related matter that the City Council determines is related to the City of College Station's Electric Utility Competitive Activity, including commercial information, which if disclosed would give advantage to competitors or prospective competitors. The following is a general representation of the subject(s) to be considered as a competitive matter. Electric Power Supply Issues ordinance along with specific findings must be conducted prior to adoption of a moratorium. Once that process is complete, the moratorium will expire after 120 days unless additional public hearings, multiple readings of the ordinance and reasonable progress has been made to alleviate the problem. Therefore, this ordinance amendment is an attempt to provide interim protection for the City's older neighborhoods until the UDC is adopted. Due to the time consuming moratorium process and its temporary nature, staff is proposing an ordinance amendment to help protect the City's older neighborhoods from higher density development that may exceed the capacity of the existing infrastructure. However, the ordinance amendment will apply city -wide and not to the specific areas previously identified in the moratorium ordinance. The ordinance was drafted with the South Side and Eastgate neighborhoods in mind; however, it will include lots in the Southwood, South Knoll, Harvey Hillsides and Cooner subdivisions. A map will be available at the workshop that identifies the areas impacted by this amendment. This item is listed on both the workshop agenda and the consent agenda. On the consent agenda, the staff will be asking the Council to approve the ordinance. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. Council Action Options: Council may approve the ordinance as submitted, return the ordinance to staff with alternate direction or deny approval of the ordinance. Supporting Materials: 1.

Item Summary: Section 18 was originally adopted as a moratorium ordinance to provide Council with an alternative for addressing infill issues in older neighborhoods while long term measures are completed through the new Unified Development Code (UDC). It was originally adopted in February of last year and expired on January 1 St of 2002. Due to recent legislative changes dealing with moratoriums on property development, the expiration date of this section cannot simply be extended until the UDC is adopted. Due to these changes in state law, multiple public hearings and readings of the
