Notwithstanding any provisions of this article to the contrary, a sewer lateral installation fee shall not be assessed and levied for the following premises or under the following circumstances:
A. Premises owned by the city;
B. Premises for which a sewer lateral installation fee was previously paid pursuant to the provisions of this article; and
C. Premises being connected to an existing sewer lateral which is or was constructed and installed:
1. Within a private street or easement,
2. As a result of an assessment district proceeding, providing the premises were assessed for such sewer lateral as part of such assessment district proceeding, or
3. As a condition of approval of a subdivision, provided the premises are located within the boundaries of such subdivision.
(Ord. 2047 §16)
Where a sewer lateral installation fee is assessed and levied upon the owner of premises initially connecting to the city sewer system, such fees shall be due and payable at the time a building permit or a connection permit is issued for such premises, whichever first occurs. Provided, however, that where a sewer lateral installation fee is assessed and levied upon the owner of such premises which are or will be occupied by “persons or families of low and moderate income,” as defined in Section 50093 of the California Health and Safety Code, and the entire amount of such fee will be financed with a loan made by the city or the Chico Redevelopment Agency, then such fee shall be due and payable at the time of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such premises.
(Ord. 2049 §17)
A. Residential or Nonresidential Premises Initially Connecting to the Sewer System. Where residential or nonresidential premises initially connecting to the sewer system do not have an existing sewer main located in a street or easement adjacent to the lot or parcel on which such premises are located, the owner of the premises shall install a sewer main extension from a point within a street or easement adjacent to such lot or parcel which is approved by the director to a point on the existing sewer main also as approved by the director. In addition, where such premises are being initially connected to the sewer system incident to the construction or alteration of a building or other structure on the premises which requires the issuance of a building permit pursuant to the provisions of this code, the owner of the premises shall install a sewer main extension throughout the length of any street improvements required to be made in the public rights-of-way adjoining the premises as a condition of the issuance of such building permit.
All such sewer main extensions shall be installed in accordance with the design criteria and improvement standards for sanitary sewer mains now or hereafter adopted by or pursuant to this code, and shall be located within a public street or public easement except where the director determines that the location of the sewer main within a public street or public easement is impracticable and except for that part of a sewer main extension located within the boundaries of a subdivision in which all or substantially all of the streets are privately owned and maintained. Where a sewer main extension is installed incident to the construction or alteration of a building or structure or a change in use of premises which requires a certificate of occupancy pursuant to the provisions of this code, the sewer main extension shall be completed prior to the issuance of such certificate of occupancy.
B. Residential or Nonresidential Premises for Which a Tentative Subdivision Map has Been Approved by the City. Where a tentative subdivision map has been approved by the city for residential or nonresidential premises, the owner of such premises shall install a sewer main extension throughout the area of the subdivision to be served by the sewer system. In addition, where a tentative subdivision map has been approved by the city for residential or nonresidential premises which do not have an existing sewer main in a street or easement adjacent to the boundaries of the subdivision, the owner of such premises shall install a sewer main extension from a point within a street or easement adjacent to the subdivision boundaries which is approved by the director to a point on an existing sewer main also as approved by the director. Moreover, where, as a condition of approval of a tentative map for residential or nonresidential premises, street improvements are required to be made in the public rights-of-way adjoining such premises, the owner of the premises shall, at the owner's sole cost and expense, also install a sewer main extension throughout the length of any such street improvements.
All such sewer main extensions shall be installed in accordance with the design criteria and improvement standards for sanitary sewer mains now or hereafter adopted by or pursuant to this code, shall be located within a public street or public easement except where the director determines that the location of the sewer main in a public street or public easement is impracticable and except for that part of the sewer main extension located within the boundaries of a subdivision in which all or substantially all of the streets are privately owned and maintained, and shall be completed prior to the filing of a final map for the subdivision or in the manner and within the time provided for in a subdivision improvement agreement executed pursuant to the provisions of this code at the time of filing a final map for the subdivision.
(Ord. 1735 §l, Ord. 2364 §272)
All sewer main extensions installed within a public street, public utility easement, public service easement, or public sewer easement as hereinbefore provided by this article shall be maintained by the city; provided that, the city shall have the right to discontinue the maintenance of or remove such sewer main extensions when premises adjacent thereto are no longer being served by the sewer system. All sewer main extensions installed within a private street or private sewer easement shall be maintained by the owner of the premises served by the sewer main extension.
