RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council to continue the public hearing on this item to the March 28, 2000
meeting.
BACKGROUND
At the meeting of February 22, 2000, the City Council adopted an ordinance
amending Title 15, Chapter 15.50 of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code Entitled:
Storm Drainage Utility Enterprise Fund. The ordinance amendment gave the City
of Santa Clarita the authority to establish a system of specific user charges for any
water quality facilities that are site specific. These charges would be in addition to
the established Storm Drainage Pollution Abatement Charge that is levied to all
parcels in the. City and would be established on a case by case basis, based on the
annual cost to maintain, operate, improve and/or replace the facilities.
Two developments, Bridgeport West of McBean Parkway and South River, have
decided to take a proactive role in becoming compliant with the new National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. As an alternative to
directing their urban runoff to flow into the City's storm drain system, these
developments will direct urban and storm runoff into a filter detention basin. Both
developments have requested that the City of Santa Clarita maintain, operate,
improve and/or replace the facility. In order to properly fund these actions, a Site
Specific Storm Drainage Pollution Abatement fee is needed. Per the requirements of
Proposition 218, a majority public hearing is necessary. Additional time is needed to
complete the Proposition 218 process and a continuance to the meeting of March 28,
2000 is requested.
