§ 6.04.070. Storm drainage connection fees

In order to adequately provide for required up-sizing of existing facilities or new storm drainage conveyance and pumping facilities required due to improvements, the following fees are hereby established and shall be paid to the Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District prior to approval of a permit to drain parcels improved in any manner to district facilities, directly or indirectly. These fees shall be used for the construction of storm drainage facilities serving new improvements.

Issuance of a permit shall be contingent upon approval of any required plans, and recorded maintenance agreements, and submission of properly prepared and executed rights of entry and easement documents, all as necessary to provide a flowage path, or for installation of conveyance facilities, so that flows are discharged at a point designated by the district.

A. For single-family dwellings and mobile homes and their associated improvements, the fee shall be the single-family dwelling fees shown Sections 6.04.170 and 6.04.180 for each residence or mobile home.

B. For multiple dwelling units, whether in the form of numerous single-living units such as town houses, duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, apartment houses, condominiums, or multiple single-family dwellings on a single parcel, structures or improvements appurtenant thereto, and schools, the fee shall be the multiple dwelling fee as shown in [Sections 6.04.170 and 6.04.180] for the area being developed or redeveloped; provided, however, the total amount of such fee for the multiple dwelling area shall not be less than the single-family dwelling fee as shown in Sections 6.04.170 and 6.04.180. When only a portion of a parcel is developed, the district manager may, by written agreement with the property owner, defer that portion of fees due on the undeveloped portion of the parcel, until that portion of the parcel is developed.

C. For churches, commercial or industrial buildings, commercial or industrial subdivisions, and all other land uses not otherwise provided for in this chapter, or improvements appurtenant thereto, the fee shall be the commercial fee as shown in Sections 6.04.170 and 6.04.180 for the area being developed or redeveloped. When only a portion of a parcel is being improved, the district manager may, by written agreement with the property owner, defer that portion of the fees due on the undeveloped portion of the parcel, until that portion of the parcel is developed.

When the area for which the fee was deferred is developed, the fee shall be computed using the then-current fee per acre. When a parcel undergoes phased development, i.e., filling, grading, and placing of a rock top surface with the possibility that paving or other improvements will be accomplished at a later date, the district manager may, by written agreement with the property owner, charge one-half (½) the commercial-industrial drainage fee for the area being developed and defer the remaining one-half (½) of the fee until the parcel is paved or otherwise improved. The deferred portion of the fee shall be paid in the amount of one-half (½) of the then-current fee when the parcel is finally developed.
