AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL
AND
WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
ESTABLISHING DRAINAGE FEES IN THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL
AND
WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
DRAINAGE AREA 109
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County as the governing body of the Contra Costa County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District does ordain as follows:
SECTION L DRAINAGE PLAN. The drainage map entitled "Drainage Area 109, Boundary
Map,"dated July 1994, on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, is adopted as the drainage
boundary map for the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Drainage
Area 109 pursuant to Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District Act(Chapter 63 of West's Appendix to the Water Code).
SECTION IL FINDINGS. This Board finds and determines that said drainage area has inadequate
drainage facilities;that future subdivision and development of property within said drainage area will
have a significant adverse impact on existing and future developments;that development of property
within the drainage area, with its resultant increase in impervious surfaces, will require the
construction of facilities such as those described in the engineer's report;that the fees herein provided
to be charged are uniformly applied on a square foot of impervious surface basis and fairly
apportioned within said drainage area on the basis of benefits conferred on property upon which
additional impervious surfaces in said drainage area are constructed;that the estimated total of all fees
collectible hereunder does not exceed the estimated total costs of all representative drainage facilities
described in the engineer's report;and that the drainage facilities anticipated are in addition to existing
drainage facilities already serving the drainage area at the time of the adoption of the drainage plan.
SECTION III. EXEMPTIONS. The fee shall not be required for the following: 1)To replace a
structure destroyed or damaged by fire, flood, winds or other act of God, provided the resultant
structure has the same, or less impervious surface as the original structure; 2) To modify structures
or other impervious surfaces,provided the amount of ground coverage is not increased by more than
100 square feet;3)To convey land to a government agency, public entity, public utility, or abutting
property owner where a new building lot or site is not created as a result of the conveyance; or 4)
Any lot or property for which drainage fees have been fully paid previously.
SECTION IV., FEE DEFERMENT. On lots greater than two acres in size, the property owner
can defer the payment of the fee on the portion of the lot in excess of two acres that is not a required
part of the pending development. The deferment of fee is conditional on the property owners
granting, as collateral, the development rights to the Board of Supervisors for said area of deferred
fee until such time as the fee is paid.
SECTION V. BUILDING PERMITS. Except as permitted under Section III and IV, the Contra
Costa County or the city official having jurisdiction shall not issue any building permit for
construction within the drainage area until the required drainage fee has been paid. For initial
construction the fee shall be as set forth in Section VII. For single family residential swimming pools
on lots for which the drainage fee has not been paid, the fee shall be $310 per pool. For other
construction, modifications or replacements to an existing facility that cause an increase in impervious
surface, including but not limited to driveways, walks, patios etc., the amount of net increase in
Formation of Drainage Area 109 "

impervious surface shall be subject to a fee of$0.35 per square foot, but not to exceed the amount
required under Section VII.
SECTION VI. SUBDIVISIONS. Except as permitted under Sections III and IV, the subdivider
shall pay the drainage fee on the entire proposed subdivision or on each individual unit for which a
final or parcel map is filed prior to recordation of said map. Town house, condominium, and cluster
housing type subdivisions creating individual lots less than 4,000 square feet shall be treated as
multifamily residential and the lot size used in determining the "square feet of land per unit" shall be
the lot size prior to subdividing. Except as noted above, the fee for all other subdivisions shall be
calculated on an individual lot basis. The fee amount shall be as set forth in Section VII.

Single family lots,barns and sheds in excess of 400 square feet and tennis and sports courts shall not
be considered as incidental residential facilities included in the above fee schedule. The drainage fee
for the portion of these facilities in excess of 400 square feet shall be calculated using the square foot
fee in Section V, and it shall be in addition to the above fee amounts.
For the purpose of this ordinance, subject to Section VI, lot size shall be: (1) for existing lots, that
land shown on the latest equalized assessment roll as a lot; or(2)for new subdivision lots, that land
shown on the final or parcel map as a lot. The fee amounts under"Single Family Residential" shall
apply to lots containing only one dwelling unit. For multifamily residential (including mobile home
parks) the "square feet of land per unit" shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the lot size in
square feet by the number of dwelling units proposed to be on the lot.
SECTION VIM FEE PAYMENT. The official having jurisdiction may accept cash or check, or,
when authorized by the District's Chief Engineer, other consideration such as actual construction of
a part of the planned drainage facilities by the applicant or his principal. All fees collected'fiereunder
shall be deposited to the County'treasury to the account of the drainage facilities fund established
for the drainage area. Monies in said fund shall be emended solely for land acquisition, construction,
engineering, administration, repair maintenance and operation or reimbursement for the same, in
whole or in part, of planned drainage facilities within the drainage area or to reduce the principal or
interest of any bonded indebtedness of the drainage area.
SECTION IX: CREDIT. Drainage fees previously paid shall be credited as follows:
a) Where drainage fees have been paid under a former drainage fee ordinance based on acreage,
fees shall not be required under Section VII for any part of the total area for which the fee
was paid, except in the case of a resubdivision.
b) Where drainage fees have been paid under this ordinance or another drainage fee ordinance
based on impervious surface, fees shall not be required under Section VII for the total
impervious surface area for which the fee was paid. However, fees shall be payable under
