One particular question raised was whether or not the City should have a pipeline setback.

The ordinance proposed a building setback of 100 feet with some exceptions. A discussion ensued regarding what is considered a safe distance for a setback. Mayor Holcomb recommended that until the federal government establishes guideline standards for pipelines, the City should not attempt to establish the distance for a setback. A discussion ensued regarding the City's liability and protection for the residents relative to pipeline setbacks. Deputy City Attorney Empeno pointed out that staff is seeking direction for new subdivisions that may be located either on or in the vicinity of a pipeline. He stated that perhaps further studies can be performed, or some rules and conditions can be established that would restrict the type or intensity of development. He further explained the type of developments that could be developed above a pipe line. Mr. Empeno encouraged the Council to investigate the matter further. It was suggested that a conditional use permit be required for any development within 500 feet of a pipeline.
