replacing Rick Griego or if it was an open position due to the census. Adolph Lopez answered his question

ITEM 4- DISCUSSION
a. Community Development Activity Report Adolph said he wasn’t sure if it was new community
—
development item, but it is something that could affect development. He said the Council approved a
moratorium on impact fees to create development but he said, “1 guess time will tell.” It will be for 2 years
with a one year review. Adolph said there was only one building permit issued. But he said they are
getting a lot of questions on how it is actually going to impact development. We will probably see
something happening in about a month or two. The fees that were waved were the watert, sewer, and park
impact fees, They will still have to pay connection fees such as water connection and water deposit, sewer
connection and building permit fees. The other thing you might see is the ordinance on waiving the
distance on liquor licenses. It is not granting the applicant a waiver, but it allows them to apply for the
distance waiver from a school or church, which is currently 300 ft. Commissioner F. Vigil asked about the
Applebee’s Restaurant. Adolph said, Applebee’s said in the council meeting, they are working with a
developer on the site. The actual date is early 2013 and the next step for them is to apply for that waiver.
He said we are just waiting for Applebee’s legal council to applie for the waiver. The location will be in
front of Lowe’s.
b. Code Enforcement issues. None
