The purpose of this item is to discontinue the practice of water right banking. In order to meet the water needs of new development or redevelopment within the Water Utility service area, developers are assessed a Raw Water Requirement (RWR). Current City Code allows water rights to be submitted to the Water Utility even when no water service permit is needed in exchange for credit that can be used for later satisfaction of the RWR. Although this banking practice was helpful in the past, it is less helpful now and makes managing these water rights difficult. The proposed City Code changes would discontinue the practice of banking water right credits, but continue to allow the practice of conveying acceptable water rights for developments at the time a RWR is assessed. 10.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 174, 2013, Vacating Foothills Parkway Right -of -Way Between College Avenue and Mathews Street. and Vacating a Portion of Mathews Street. 13. The proposed Ordinance vacates the right-of-way for the remaining public street portion of Foothills Parkway from College Avenue to Mathews Street, along with a portion of the west side of Mathews Street intersecting Foothills Parkway. This would make Foothills Parkway a private drive from College Avenue to Stanford Road (as the portion of Foothills Parkway from Mathews Street to Stanford Road was previously vacated in 1988). Easements for access, emergency access, drainage, utilities, and transit will be retained in order to allow these uses within the vacated right- of-way in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Foothills Mall. The purpose of this item is to accommodate the realignment of the Larimer No. 2 Ditch, which allows the ditch to be relocated off the Mall property.
