§ 34-67. Adequate water allocation needed for construction of commercial and industrial uses.

No building permit shall be issued for construction of commercial and industrial uses on vacant parcels which are estimated by the community development department of the City of Bullhead City to consume more than 0.3 acre feet per year of water for each parcel involved, whether such parcels result from lot splits or platted lots, that do not have a prior water allocation that is adequate to serve the intended use without first obtaining an adequate water allocation from the city council of Bullhead City for the development. Allocations shall be based upon the principle of "first come, first served". The new allocation applied for shall represent the difference between the original water allocation assigned to such parcel and the estimated demand for water usage resulting from the commercial or industrial development. Any requests for a new allocation shall be based on an engineer's estimate of water usage for the proposed project approved by the community development department of the City of Bullhead City. If approved by the city council, such allocation will be granted at the time of issuance of the necessary construction permits.
