SUMMARY ThecurrentWastewaterMasterPlanwaspreparedin2005(2005Study).Sincethattime,theCity hashadchangesinplanneddevelopmentandflowprojections.This2014WastewaterMasterPlan Update (2014 Study) accounts for said impacts on the wastewater system. The2014Studycoversthewastewatercollection,conveyanceandtreatmentcapacityrequirements underexistingandultimateCitybuild-outconditions,conductedonbehalfoftheCitybyInfrastructure Engineering Corporation, Inc. The2005StudyrecommendedthattheSewerCapacityChargebesetat$3,478perEquivalent DwellingUnit(EDU).The2014Studyrecommendsmodifyingthechargeto$3,450perEDU.Italso recommendsmodifyingthesinglefamilywastewaterunitgenerationratefromtheexisting265 gallons per day (GPD) to 230 GPD. With this action, the City Council will consider: (i)Accepting the 2014 Study; (ii)ModifyingtheSewerCapacityChargeandWastewaterUnitGenerationRates,as recommended in the 2014 Study; (iii)AmendingChulaVistaMunicipalCodesection13.14.090,theCity’sMasterFee ScheduleandtheSubdivisionManual,toreflectthemodificationsandprovidefor annual increases in the Sewer Capacity Charge.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista that it accepts the 2014 Wastewater Master Plan Update, in the form presented, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the office of the City Clerk. . Presented by Approved as to form by ________ ________ Richard A. Hopkins Glen R. Googins Director of Public Works City Attorney ORDINANCE NO. ____ ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING: (I) CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 13.14.090 (SEWER CAPACITY CHARGE); (II) THE SEWER FEES); AND (III) THE SUBDIVISION MANUAL (SECTION 3-300 SEWER DESIGN CRITERIA), TO MODIFY THE SEWER CAPACITY CHARGE AND THE WASTEWATER UNIT GENERATION RATES WHEREAS, in March of 1985, the Engineering Department prepared a study titled, "Sewerage Facility Participation Fee Study-Modified March 1985." The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of establishing a capacity fee that would be applicable to all new sewer connections to the City's sewer collection system; and WHEREAS, upon completion, this study recommended among other things, the establishment of a sewerage capacity charge that would be adjusted on an annual basis to reflect changes in construction costs (suggested basis: Engineering News Record Construction Index most applicable to July 1 of each year); and WHEREAS, on April 2, 1985, City Council by Ordinance No. 2107, approved the establishment of the sewerage facility participation fee, now referred to as the sewerage capacity charge, to enable the citizenry to be repaid for their initial investment and to facilitate the development of Chula Vista. At that time, the fee was set to be $300 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU); and WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista along with fourteen other agencies that belong to the Metro System, sends its flow to the City of San Diego's Point Lorna Wastewater Treatment Plant for handling of the sewage; and WHEREAS, in anticipation of the significant costs of upgrading the Point Lorna Wastewater Treatment Plant to a secondary treatment facility, for which the City of Chula Vista, as well as other participating agencies, was liable, Council on May 5, 1987, approved Resolution No. 13004 and Ordinance No. 2002 increasing the sewerage capacity charge from $300 to $600; and WHEREAS, in 1989 following the adoption of the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directed the City of San Diego to upgrade the plant to a secondary treatment facility. Since Federal funds were not anticipated to be available for the required upgrades at that time and the cost of bringing the plant into compliance seemed to be far greater than what was originally anticipated in 1987, Council on October 17, 1989 approved Resolution Nos. 15352 and 15352A. These resolutions increased the sewerage capacity charge to $2,000, pending the completion of various studies being conducted at that time to determine the impact of upgrading the treatment plant; and C:\\Users\\KerryB\\Desktop\\2014-07-08 Items\\Item 19 - Ordinance.doc Ordinance Page 2 WHEREAS, on October 9, 1990, City Council, by Resolution No. 15894, further increased the sewer participation fee to $2,220 to enable the City to meet its obligation to the Metro System for the upgrade of the treatment plant; and WHEREAS, on March 18,2003, City Council, by Ordinance No. 2900, further increased the sewer participation fee to $3,000 to enable the City to acquire additional capacity rights in the Metro System and cover the costs associated with the significant increment in Metro expenditures and improvements required to adequately service the City's growth; and WHEREAS, on May 10, 2005, City Council, by Ordinance No. 3007, further increased the sewer participation fee to $3,478 to allocate resources for the acquisition of additional capacity rights in the Metro System and cover the costs associated with the short-term and long- term sewer capacity needs of the City; and WHEREAS, Chula Vista currently has capacity rights in the Metro Sewer System to cover growth for the next few years. This capacity was acquired with funds generated by the sewerage capacity charge that existing residents paid when they made their connection to the City's sewer system. If reserved capacity in the Metro Sewer System had not been purchased, new residents would either have not been permitted to build, or would have been required to pay for the acquisition of additional treatment capacity. Instead, new residents are permitted to make use of the reserved capacity held by the City; and WHEREAS, the modification of the sewerage capacity charge, applicable to all new sewer connections, is proposed as a mean of recuperating the cost of reserve capacity and also maintain a fund that will fund the acquisition of additional capacity and subsidize the cost of the necessary sewer improvements that will benefit all City residents; and WHEREAS, consistent with California Government Code Sections 66000, et seq., the City Council recently caused a study to be conducted to reanalyze and reevaluate the impacts of the adequacy of the existing wastewater collection system to sustain the long-term growth of the City, and further reevaluate and reanalyze the Sewer Capacity Charge and Wastewater Generation Rate necessary to pay for the sewer facilities, which study was prepared by Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, Inc. and is WHEREAS, the Plan will also assist the City in budgeting for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), allocating resources for the acquisition of additional sewage capacity and determining the short and long-term sewer capacity needs of the City and the Plan advises the City to implement the "Incremental Capacity Expansion" method, which is to allow new users to pay fully for the additional facilities without imposing a burden on existing customers. This modification will be needed to keep up with inflation to prevent the Sewerage Capacity Charge from falling behind the costs of constructing new facilities; and Ordinance Page 3 WHEREAS, wastewater unit generation rates are used to estimate wastewater flow projections and determine infrastructure improvements required to serve existing and future development needs. This forms the basis of the Sewerage Capacity Charge; and WHEREAS, the Plan supports and staff recommends to modifying the wastewater unit generation rate from 265 gallons per day per equivalent dwelling unit (GPD/EDU) to 230 GPD/EDU; and WHEREAS, utilizing the "Incremental Capacity Expansion" method as the basis of the modification, the Plan supports and staff recommends the Sewerage Capacity Charge be modified from $3,478 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit to $3,450 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the amount of the charge levied by this ordinance does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the public facilities; and WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby find that the Sewer Capacity Charge herein imposed is for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. The proposed activity does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Therefore, the City finds that the adoption of this ordinance is statutorily exempt under the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section l5060(c)(3); and WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code section 13.14.090 authorizes the imposition of the Sewer Capacity Charge; and WHEREAS, City staff recommends that section 13.14.090 be amended in accordance with the Plan, to provide for annual adjustments to the Sewer Capacity Charge in order to adjust st the charge each October 1, based on the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index, for the Los Angeles area; and sewer capacity charge is r Fees, and staff recommends that the Master Fee schedule be amended as necessary to reflect the adopted sewer capacity charge for Fiscal Year 2014/15, as presented to the City Council; and. wastewater unit generation rates are set forth in the Subdivision Manual, in Section 3-300 Design Criteria, staff recommends that the Subdivision Manual be amended as necessary to reflect the adopted wastewater unit generation rates, as presented to the City Council. NOW THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows: Section I. Findings The City Council finds that the collection of the sewerage capacity charge, established by Ordinance No. 2107, at the time the building permit is issued is necessary. This will ensure that Ordinance Page 4 funds will be available for the acquisition of capacity rights in the Metro System, construction improvements to enhance capacity in the City's sewer system and to pay for the treatment of sewage; and The City Council finds that developers of land within the City should be required to mitigate the burden created by development through the payment of a fee to finance a development's appropriate portion of the total cost of the sewer improvements, sewage treatment and capacity rights in the Metro System; and The City Council finds that the legislative findings and determinations set forth in the ordinance referred to in the above recitals continue to be true and correct; and The City Council finds, after consideration of the evidence presented to it, that the increase of the Sewer Capacity Charge, including providing for an annual update to the charge based on the ENR Construction Cost Index, and Wastewater Generation Rates is necessary in order to assure adequate sewer service to the City; and The City Council finds, based on the evidence presented at the meeting and the information received by the City Council in the ordinary course of its business, that the imposition of the Sewer Capacity Charge on all future developments in the City for which building permits have not been issued is necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and The City Council finds that the amount of the amended charge levied by this ordinance does not exceed the estimated cost of providing the sewer service to the developments within the City; and The City Council finds that it is appropriate to approve an increase to the Sewer Capacity Charge, annual indexed increases to that charge, and an increase to the Wastewater Generation Rates, to reflect the acquisition of additional capacity rights; the annual increase in the Metropolitan Sewerage System Costs and the increase in the need for improvements created by the demand for more capacity in the sewer system; and The City Council finds it is necessary to ensure sewer capacity in the Metro system before the reserved capacity is exhausted and to ensure the timely payment to adequately fund ongoing and future sewer improvements to enhance capacity in the City's sewer system triggered by future development. Section II. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings for Statutory Exemption. The City Council does hereby find that the sewerage capacity charge herein imposed is for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. Therefore, the City finds that the adoption of this ordinance is statutorily exempt under the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section l5060(c)(3). Section III.
