Flood Control

“Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to update the City's existing development impact fee (DIF) for storm drain facilities so new development funds its fair, proportional share of added capacity required to maintain the City's established level of service (LOS) for flood control as growth increases impervious area and runoff.”

“Scope of Improvements: Projects eligible for Flood Control Program (FCP) funding consist of five basin-level regional drainage improvements (FC-001 through FC-005) that aggregate the City's master-planned storm drain systems from the Little Lake Basin, Southwest Hemet Basin, San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments), West Hemet Basin, and Hemet Main Basin Master Drainage Plans.”

“Consistency statements: In the adopting action, state that the citywide fee may be programmed for improvements anywhere in the City where they serve the integrated drainage system and maintain the adopted level of protection.”

“Adoption & Program Structure: Adopt the updated Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities) development impact fee by Council ordinance or resolution, and continue administering it through a single citywide fund.”

“Threshold: ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt from DIFs (§ 65852.2(f)(3)(A)). ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger may be assessed.”

“Credits/reimbursements: Provide for credits or reimbursement agreements when an applicant constructs an eligible capacity project on the adopted list to avoid double payment; maintain audit trails in the fund.”
