§ 18-146 RELATIONSHIP OF WATER SYSTEM CAPACITY TO APPROVALS FOR ANNEXATION, ZONING, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, SPECIAL USE, SITE PLAN, SUBDIVISION AND BUILDING REGULATIONS.
   (A)   An application for annexation, zoning map amendment, planned development, special use, site plan and/or subdivision, shall as part of the application requirements perform a water system capacity analysis to be completed by the city or its consultant engineer, to confirm sufficient water system capacity is available to serve the domestic, fire protection, and irrigation needs of subject property. The cost for preparing the water system capacity analysis shall be the responsibility of the applicant. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen may adopt by resolution and amend from time to time a fee structure for preparing a water system capacity analysis.
   (B)   All required permits must be secured and associated fees paid in full by applicant before the commencement of site construction work, the issuance of building permits, or the sale of subdivision lots. Occupancy permits shall not be issued unless all required public infrastructure has been installed including water system improvements or a performance bond or other form of acceptable financial surety is received by the city and authorization for the issuance of occupancy permits is granted by the authority having jurisdiction.
   (C)   Whenever a change in use takes place on property that has previously been connected to the city's water system and under the new use a greater demand will be placed on the water system than was placed on this system by the previous user (as determined by City Engineer according to Appendix C of this code of ordinances), then no occupancy permit may be issued for the lot or building until such time as the City Engineer has confirmed the extent of additional capacity required including, but not limited to, an increase in the size of the domestic service line and/or the addition or increase in size of the fire protection or irrigation system service line and payment in full by the applicant of all associated fees for the additional capacity needed.
