that said Comprehensive Plan and official controls are in need of revision; and
WHEREAS, the City has initiated the process of review of the existing
Comprehensive plan and official controls, which process is ongoing; and
WHEREAS, certain aspects of properly revising the Comprehensive Plan and
official controls were dependent upon a determination by the City as to whether or
not it would proceed with construction of a wastewater treatment facility within
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined to proceed with construction of
such facilities, and has directed the City planner to proceed to complete work on
the Comprehensive Plans based upon the assumption that sewer and water services

under the existing plan and official controls would harm the ongoing planning
process.
