(A) The storm water management fee shall be determined by first determining the percentage of total run-off in the city which is attributed to single-family residential property. The fee per acre for single-family residential is computed by computing the product of the run-off percentage and the monthly storm water utility revenue, divided by the estimated total acres of single-family residential land use in the city. The per acre fee for all other individual parcels shall be defined as the product of the single-family residential per-acre fee, the appropriate utility factor and the total acreage of the parcel. Single-family residential parcels shall be assessed on a per household basis. All multi-family residential, townhome, and mobile home classifications with individual meters shall be billed at 80% of the current ERU. All multi-family residential, townhome, and mobile home classifications without individual meters shall be billed based on the above equation, derived from the table below.
Classification | Land Use | Intensity Factor | % Impervious Assumed |
Classification | Land Use | Intensity Factor | % Impervious Assumed |
Single family residential | 1 | ||
2 | Townhomes | 0.8 | |
3 | Multi-family residential | 1.5 | |
