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 drainage
facilities shown on the drainage plan; and that the drainage facilities planned
are in addition to existing drainage facilities already serving the drainage area

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

AND
WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
DRAINAGE AREA 16
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 1 Ordinance No. 86-55 of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District is hereby repealed.
SECTION 2 The Board hereby enacts the following as the Drainage Fee Ordinance for
Drainage Area 16.
SECTION 1 DRAINAGE PLAN. The drainage plan and map entitled "Drainage Area 16,
Boundary Map and Amended Drainage Plan," dated June 1988, on file with the Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, is adopted as the drainage plan for the Contra Costa County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District Drainage Area 16 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 of the Water Code).
SECTION 11 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 described in the drainage plan;
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 drainage facilities shown on the drainage plan or
included in the Engineer's Report; and that the drainage facilities planned 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 acts 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
Ordinance No. 2002-41 Page 1 of 4
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 Ill and IV, the
Contra Costa County or the city officials 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 VI 1. For single family residential
swimming pools on lots for which the drainage fee has not been paid, the fee shall be $704
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 impervious surface shall be subject to a fee of
40.80 per square foot, but not to exceed the amount required under Section VII.
SECTION VI SUBDIVISIONS. Except as permitted under Sections 111 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
