(a) For purposes of assessing the Storm Water Management Fee, all properties in the City are classified into one of the following use classes:
Use Class
(1) Single family dwelling properties
(2) Multi-family dwelling properties
(3) Single unit commercial properties
(4) Multi-unit commercial properties
(5) Institutional properties
(6) Industrial properties (Ord. 07-050. Passed 6-13-07.)
(b) Single Family Residential Fee. The Council finds that the intensity of development for most parcels of real property in the City 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, structure, and other impervious area) on each such parcel. Therefore, all single family residential properties in the City shall be charged a flat Storm Water Management Fee, equal to the base rate, regardless of the size of the parcel or the improvements. Said flat base rate shall be four dollars and fifty cents ($4.50) per month.
(Ord. 20-024. Passed 7-27-20.)
(c) Other developed property within the range of impervious area and impervious surface area, for the same reasons stated in article (b), shall be charged a flat fee as follows:
Base Impervious Surface/Area Multi-unit residential 3,500 sq. ft. to 7,000 sq. ft. = 2x the base rate per month Single-unit commercial 7,001 sq. ft. to 10,500 sq. ft.= 3x the base rate per month. Multi-unit commercial 10,501 sq. ft. to 14,000 sq. ft.= 4x the base rate per month. Institutional 14,001 sq. ft. to 17,500 sq. ft.= 5x the base rate per month. Industrial 17,501 sq. ft. to 21,000 sq. ft.= 6x the base rate per month. |
Except for single family residential properties as provided in subsection (d) hereof, where the amount of impervious surface/area for any use classification of developed property shall differ from the base amount of impervious surface/area above the Fee shall be calculated as follows:
Number of Base Units, or parts thereof, multiplied by the Base Rate not to exceed 25 times the base rate.
Illustration: A developed property of 41,000 sq. ft. of impervious surface/area.
41,000 sq. ft. divided by 3500 (Base Unit) = 11.7 Base Units
12 Base Units X $3.50 = $42.00/ month
(Ord. 07-050. Passed 6-13-07.)
