A. Exceptions For Redevelopment Of Property: Notwithstanding subsections 8-6-3B and C of this chapter, if the proposed subdivision is on one or more currently landscaped lots, the Public Works Director will waive conveyance of water rights if the developer establishes by clear and convincing evidence that:
1. Water rights acceptable and usable by the City were previously conveyed as a condition of a prior subdivision approval which included that property.
B. Governmental Or Quasi-Governmental Entities: Conveyance of water will not be required of governmental or quasi-governmental entities proposing development that will improve the public benefit, welfare, health, or safety.
C. Conveyances To Cease Upon Excess Supply: Every five (5) years, if necessary, the City Public Works Director shall determine whether the City's existing available water interests exceed the water interests needed to meet the amount of water needed in the next forty (40) years by the persons within the City's projected service area based on projected population growth and other water use demand ("reasonable future water requirements"). Should the Director conclude that available water interests exceed the reasonable future water requirements of the public, the Public Works Director shall notify the City Council and the City Council shall act to cease conveyance of water shares according to this section until existing available water interests no longer exceed the reasonable future water requirement.
