The drainage plan and map entitled "Drainage Area 52C, Boundary Map and Drainage Plan, Amendment No. 2," dated March 2001, 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 52C 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 II 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 are 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 Ordinance No. 2001-09 Page 1 of 5 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 for the in Section VI I. For single family residential swimming pools on lots for which the drainage fee has not been paid, the fee shall be $704.00 per pool. For other construction, modifications or replacements to an existing facility that cause an increase in impervious surface, including, but not limited to, driveways, walks patios, etc., the amount of net increase in impervious surface shall be subject to a fee of$.80 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.
