For purposes of determining the stormwater management fee, all properties in the City of Danville are classified into one of the following classes:
(a) Single family residential (SFR) property. The Commission finds that the contribution to runoff of most parcels of real property in the City of Danville classified as single family residential is similar and that it would be excessively and unnecessarily expensive to determine precisely the square footage of the improvements (such as building, structures, and other impervious areas) on each parcel. Therefore, all single family residential properties in the city shall be charged a flat stormwater management fee, equal to the base rate, as provided in section 6.5-56.
(b) Non-single family residential (non-SFR) property. The fee for non-SFR property in the City of Danville shall be the base rate multiplied by the numerical factor obtained by dividing the total impervious area (square feet) of the property by the ERU. The impervious surface area for non-SFR property is the square footage for the buildings and other improvements on the property. At the sole discretion of the City Commission, the impervious surface area of non-SFR property may be approximated through site examination, mapping information, aerial photographs, and other available information. The minimum stormwater management fee for non-SFR property shall equal the base rate for single family residential property.
(c) Non-developed property. The fee for non-developed property in the City of Danville shall be a flat stormwater management fee, equal to the base rate, as provided in section 6.5-56.
