(A) Rates and charges for the use and availability of the facilities will be determined by the use of a residential equivalent factor (“REF”). For purposes of this chapter, one REF is defined as the ratio of runoff volume (in inches) for a particular land use, to the runoff volume (in inches) for a typical single-family residential lot.
(B) The City Council hereby adopts the charges set forth in § 33.090 for the use and availability of the facilities. The charges to be made against each parcel of land in the city will be determined by multiplying the REF for the parcel, based on actual land use, times the parcel’s acreage, times the facilities charge per acre, except that all R-1, R-1A, and R-2 residential parcels will be presumed to be one-third acre per dwelling unit on the presumption that most such parcels in the city are approximately that size and in order to avoid computation of the actual area of every such parcel in the city.
