ORDINANCE NO. 2023-10-19 AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A LIMITED TEMPORARY LAND USE REGULATION WITHIN THE INCORPORATED AREAS OF MORONI CITY, STATE OF UTAH FOR THE MORONI CITY IRRIGATION SYSTEM UNDER TITLE 8.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED by the City Council of Moroni City, Sanpete County, Utah, that a temporary moratorium is imposed under Title 8, Chapter 5, Sections 2 and 3 of the Moroni City Ordinances as well as any other ordinances or engineering plans authorizing connection to the Moroni City Irrigation Service system as follows: 1. Regulated Land. The regulated land shall be all land within or without the incorporated areas of the City of Moroni, which is divided, or which seeks to obtain a new connection to the City's irrigation system. 2. Effective Dates. The regulation shall become effective immediately and shall remain in force until rescinded or six months, whichever occurs first. 3. Regulation. The City of Moroni will not accept any new applications for connections to its irrigation service system until it determines the maximum capacity of the well, delivery system and ability to provide adequate flows to properties within the City's current area of service of the irrigation service system. 4. Compelling Interest. The City Council hereby elects to issue this temporary land use regulation due to concerns related to potential inadequate pressurized water flows and substandard water system distribution throughout the Town. This moratorium is meant to assure that the City of Moroni is able to deliver adequate water with sufficient flows to provide those citizens who have already paid to connect to the irrigation service system with water, and to assure that the City has an adequate water management plan to deal with the above issues as it relates to new connections. Once the water management plan is established, the City of Moroni will welcome new connections if determined feasible and to establish the boundaries and limitations of the irrigation service system related to future connections.
