A RESOLUTION j EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE COUNCIL j • WITH REGARD TO THE ALLOCATION OF FUTURE AVAILABLE SEWAGE CAPACITY IN THE DRAINAGE AREA OF THE MOORE'S CREEK TREATMENT PLANT .,MV, WHEREAS, this Council has with great reluctance imposed a moratorium on connections to the sanitary sewer system flowing into the Moore's Creek Sewage Treatment Plant; until such time as the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority advises that such treatment plant has sufficient capacity available lawfully to permit new connections to such system; and WHEREAS, the Council realizes the potentially devastating effect which this action may have on efforts of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and other public agencies to provide new sources of decent, safe and sanitary housing for low and moderate income persons, on projects proposed for development on city -owned property, on projects which may have a significant effect on the economic development of the community, and on other projects and plans which may be deemed to serve the public interest; and WHEREAS, it appears possible that limited additional capacity may become available at the Moore's Creek Sewage Treatment Plant at some time in the future, and that it would be advisable for this Council to express its present intentions with respect to the allocation of this community resource; now therefore be it RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville that it is the sense of the Council that future available sewer capacity in the Moore's Creek drainage basin should, to the extent legally permissible, be allocated in a manner which gives priority to projects for low and moderate income housing under the sponsorship of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and other public agencies and to projects proposed for development on City owned property.
