There is hereby established the following uniform schedule of rates for the services and use of facilities of the Stormwater Management System by the owner, tenant or occupant of the premises using the services and facilities of the System.
(a) Council shall, by ordinance, establish reasonable rates for Stormwater Management Systems for each single family residence. The Stormwater User Fee for each single family residence shall be a flat fee established by the City Council for an Equivalent Residential Unit.
(b) The Stormwater User Fee for Vacant Improved Property shall be determined by dividing the total land area of the Vacant Improved Property, in square feet, by the area of an Equivalent Residential Unit times a correction factor. The correction factor shall be based on the relative volume of runoff from a Vacant Improved Property and that of an average single family residence, under typical hydrologic conditions.
(c) For all Developed Property, excluding Exempt Property, not otherwise provided for by subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the Stormwater User Fee shall be computed based on the total Impervious Area of such property divided by the average Impervious Area of an Equivalent Residential Unit times the rate established for an Equivalent Residential Unit. The Stormwater User Fee shall be updated by the City Engineer based on any additions to the Impervious Areas as approved through the building permit process.
