(A) The Council may adopt policies, recommended by the City Engineer in order to adjust the storm water area fee for parcels based upon hydrologic data to be supplied by the property owner, which data demonstrates a hydrologic response substantially different from the standards. The adjustment of storm water utility fees require Council approval.
(B) A parcel may be credited to the residential rate of the storm water area fee for on-site measures reduce the outflow of sediment/nutrients from the site. If the on-site measures are owned by the property owner, the Public Works Director will periodically inspect the storm drainage control facilities to ascertain that they are operating properly. If such a system, due to improper maintenance or other reason, fails to detain or cleanse storm water runoff in an effective manner, the Director may eliminate credits to an appropriate level. Any such facility shall not be eligible for storm water area adjustments for a period of 12 months following any credit adjustment. The issuance of any building permit or other action which changes or intensifies an existing land use shall be cause for an adjustment of storm water drainage fees to an appropriate level.
