A. Commercial
Structures. All owners or occupiers of structures designed for the
purpose of providing permanent housing for enterprises engaged in
the exchange of goods and services who connect to the city sewer system
shall pay the regional sewerage supplemental capital outlay fee. Such
structures shall include but not be limited to all private businesses
and service establishments, schools, churches and public facilities.
EDU's shall be determined by multiplying the fixture units (FU) (as
defined by the most current Uniform Plumbing code adopted by the city)
shown on the approved building plans by the appropriate sewage factor
for the use category shown in the following table:

front-load washers from approved Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) washer list are used, the number of fixture units
per machine is established at two 2 fixture units.

The total EDU's for commercial centers with various
use categories will be the sum of the EDU's computed for each use
category. Similarly, hotel complexes that contain restaurants, pools,
health clubs or laundry facilities shall be calculated based on the
individual uses in the complex with the fee based on the sum of the
EDU's computed for each use category.
B. Industrial
Structures. All owners or occupiers of structures designed for the
purpose of providing permanent housing for an enterprise engaged in
the production, manufacturing or processing of materials, who connect
to the city sewer system shall pay the regional sewerage supplemental
capital outlay fee. The EDU for industrial structures shall be determined
as follows:
1. For
domestic (sanitary) type wastewater, multiply the fixture units (as
defined by the Uniform Plumbing code) shown on the approved building
plans by a sewage factor of 0.0741, based on a 20 gallon per fixture
unit flow a day.
2. For
nondomestic wastewater (NDW) and process wastewater, compute EDU from
information contained in the nondomestic wastewater discharge permit
or test data for BOD and TSS, using the formula;
EDU
|
=

3. The total EDU number for industrial structures is the sum of the EDU's derived from subsections
(B)(1) and
(2) of this section.
C. The
regional sewerage supplemental capital outlay fee will apply to all
commercial and industrial and other non-residential development regardless
of when the structure was constructed. When a nonresidential use requests
to connect to the sewer system or modify its use if already connected,
the fee shall be based on the current fee in effect at the time the
connection or modified use is made.
D. Exhibit J of the Regional Sewerage Service Contract. The categories and sewage factors listed in subsection
A of this section are as established in Exhibit J of the regional sewerage service contract, copies of which are on file in the offices of the public works director and the city clerk of the city. Exhibit J and the whole thereof in its present form or as may be amended from time to time by resolution, is adopted by reference and incorporated as if fully set forth herein and shall be controlling and enforceable within the city, including areas outside of its limits that are served by the community sewers.
(Prior code § 7511.3; Ord. 1785 §§ 4, 5 2005)
On or about April 1st of each year, CBMWD shall review the estimated
cost of the capital improvements described in the ten-year capital
improvement program, the continued need for those improvements and
the reasonable relationship between such need and the ten-year growth
forecast submitted by the contracting agencies as well as the regional
sewerage supplemental capital outlay fee. CBMWD shall report its findings
to the regional technical and policy committees and recommend any
adjustment to the fee or other action as may be needed to CBMWD's
board of directors.
(Prior code § 7511.5)
The revenues raised by payment of this fee shall be placed in
a separate and special account.
(Prior code § 7511.6)
A developer of any project subject to the fee described in this
section may apply to the city engineer for a reduction or adjustment
to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, based upon the absence of any
reasonable relationship or nexus between the sewage impacts of that
development and either the amount of the fee charged or the type of
facilities to be financed. The application shall state in detail the
factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction, or adjustment. If
a reduction, adjustment, or waiver is granted, any change in use within
the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment, or reduction
of this fee.
(Prior code § 7511.7)
