For purposes specified in Section 3.38.010, the Clean Water and Storm Protection fees established pursuant to this chapter are hereby prescribed and imposed, and shall be paid to and collected by the City, for services and facilities furnished by the City in connection with its storm drainage system to or for each parcel which is benefited directly or indirectly by said storm drainage system or any part thereof, or from which any storm water is conveyed or discharged directly or indirectly into the storm drainage system. Said fee is imposed annually and will be assessed and collected as follows:
A. Single-Family Residential Class

Small | Under 0.13 | $36.58 |
Medium | 0.13 to 0.22 | $44.42 |

Extra Large | Over 0.40 | $106.42 |
Condominium 1 | Na | $36.58 |

Rate Structure Notes:
1. The Rate Category for any Non-Single-Family parcel shall be assigned by the description of the land use of the parcel. For Non-Single-Family land uses that do not fit the descriptions in Table 5 of the Fee Report (for example, mixed use parcels), the rate with the nearest percent impervious area shown in Table 5 of the Fee Report shall be assigned to a parcel.
2. Non-Single-family fees are calculated in 0.1-acre increments. For example, an office parcel is charged at $30.88 for each tenth of an acre or portion thereof.
C. Non-single-family parcels and condominium parcels that comply with the version of Provision C.3 (New Development and Redevelopment Requirements) of the City’s NPDES permit that is applicable at the time of building permit issuance shall have their fees reduced by 25% in recognition of the reduced impact on the City’s storm drainage system inherent in C.3 compliance, as documented in the Fee Report (Low Impact Development Rate Adjustment). Other single-family residential parcels do not qualify for this rate reduction. C.3 compliance will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Director of Public Works, who may also establish procedures to verify and validate such compliance on a periodic basis.
D. For non-single-family residential parcels that have both improvements and significant open space areas (described in the Fee Report as “hybrid parcels”), the chargeable acreage shall be adjusted downward in recognition that the open space areas do not increase the need for the fee.
E. Open space and agricultural parcels are not subject to the Clean Water and Storm Protection fees.
