NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMAS DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I Chapter 13.52 of the Camas Municipal Code is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows: Chapter 13.52 -WATER SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES 13.52.010 -Purpose. Pursuant to the authority conferred upon cities and towns by RCW 35.92.025, the city council of the city finds that property owners who seek to connect their property to the water works system of the city should be assessed a charge in order that such property shall bear its equitable share of the cost of the water works system. The city council further finds that the charge should be based upon the property owners' anticipated use of the water works system as related to the historical cost of the water works system's capacity available to meet their demands. It is the intent of the city council that the charge imposed by this chapter shall be derived from the historical cost of the system as measured by the undepreciated value of the water works system and plant in service at the time the charge is imposed and the projected cost of additions to the system to meet new demands. The charge imposed by this chapter shall be denominated a "water system development charge" and shall be in addition to any water connection, installation, or permit fees imposed by other ordinances of the city. 13.52.020 -Definitions. Unless otherwise specifically defined, the terms used in this chapter shall have the following meanings: A. "Water System" means all facilities for collecting, transporting, pumping, treating and providing water. B. "Accessory Dwelling Unit" means one or more rooms with a private bath and kitchen facilities comprising an independent, self-contained dwelling unit within or attached to a single-family dwelling or in a detached building on the same lot as the primary dwelling unit. An Accessory Dwelling Unit is distinguishable in that it is clearly subordinate to the primary dwelling unit, both in use and appearance. C. "Industrial or unusual requirement customer" means that use classification of a nonresidential property owner who uses a meter equal to or greater than 3-inches in size and has a non- standard peak flow, uses a significantly large daily volume of water that is in excess of the City's typical commercial customer, or who otherwise have an unusual water usage pattern. 13.52.030 -Imposition. A. Except as provided herein, there is imposed on all properties in the City and all properties outside the boundaries of the city that connect to the water system of the city a water system development charge, which charge shall be assessed in accordance with the rates set forth in Section 13.52.070. B. There shall be no water system development charge imposed for the installation of an additional meter installed to an existing residential customer service line which meter is installed for irrigation purposes. C. Property owners that install a residential fire sprinkler system, which requires that the water meter size be increased to make the fire sprinkler system operational, shall not be charged the increased system development charge for the larger meter. 13.52.040 -Credits. A. Development Credit: 1) A developer (as defined in CMC 3.88.030.K) shall be entitled to a credit against the applicable system development charge for the dedication of land or for the design or engineering or construction of an "eligible improvement". For purposes of this section, an eligible improvement shall mean an improvement or real property that is: required as a condition of development approval; identified in the Water System Plan or Capital Improvement Plan; and included in the current system development charge calculation as being funded by system development charges. 2) The amount of the credit shall be the dollar amount assigned to the improvement or to the land in the system development charge calculation. Where only a portion of the improvement is constructed, or a portion of the land is dedicated, the amount of the credit shall be pro-rated. 3) Credits earned for one category of system development charge, e.g. water, may not be applied against a different system development charge, e.g. sewer. 4) Approval from the city council shall be required prior to the start of construction or dedication of any eligible improvement. "Approval" in the context of this subsection ( 4) shall be satisfied if the city requires the construction or dedication of the eligible improvement as a condition of approval for a land use application. If a developer wishes to construct an eligible improvement that is not otherwise a condition to an approved land use application, prior approval must be obtained from the city council. No system development charge credit shall be granted until either the eligible improvements have been designed, engineered, or constructed by the developer, and such work has been accepted by the city; or until the land has been dedicated by the developer and such dedication has been accepted by the city. 5) If system development charges become due and payable prior to the developer becoming eligible for the issuance of credits as provided in section (4), the developer may apply to the public works director to defer collection of the charges until construction or dedication is completed. The public works director may condition deferral upon: a) The developer posting a bond or other financial security satisfactory to the city in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the deferred system development charges, which bond or other financial security shall be conditioned upon the developer either paying the deferred system development charges or completing construction or dedication within a specified time, b) The withholding of an occupancy permit, or c) Such other conditions acceptable to the city. If the developer is dissatisfied with the decision of the public works director, the developer may seek to have that decision reviewed by the city council. 6) Upon acceptance of the eligible improvement, the developer may submit an application for the system development charge credit to the public works department. After submission of the application and verification of entitlement thereto, the public works director shall submit to the City Council for concurrence. Upon ratification, the finance department shall issue a credit voucher to the developer specifying the amount of the system development charge credit and the type of credit. 7) The credit may, at the option of the developer, be applied all or in part to the system development charges owing for the developer's project. 8) To the extent the credit exceeds the amount of the system development charges owed by the developer, or the developer chooses not to apply the credit to the developer's project, the unused credit may be applied to a different project of the developer or to the project of a different developer. 9) Before the system development charge can be transferred to a different project or a different developer, the holder of the system development charge credit shall file with the finance department an application to transfer the credit on a form to be created by the finance department. The application shall identify the transferee, and the amount of the system development charge credit being transferred. The transfer application shall be accompanied by an administrative fee in an amount as may be set by resolution of the city council. 10) When credits are to be redeemed, the holder of the system development charge credit shall file an application for redemption on a form to be created by the finance department. Redemption shall be permitted only in increments equal to a whole system development charge, or when redemption will exhaust the entire system development charge credit. The application for redemption shall be accompanied by an administrative fee in such amount as may be set by resolution of the city council. When system development charge credits are being redeemed, such redemption shall not allow for system development charge credits to be pro-rated among more than one residential lot in amounts that are less than the existing system development charge per lot. For example, where system development charges are five thousand dollars per residential lot and a developer wishes to redeem eleven thousand dollars' worth of credits, the developer shall not be allowed to apply one thousand dollars per residential lot over eleven lots. The developer may apply five thousand dollars to two residential lots and the remaining one thousand dollars to one residential lot. 11) The finance department shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate records documenting the issuance, transfer, and redemption of system development charge credits. 12) Expiration of Credits. Any Credits issued after the effective date of this ordinance shall expire and become null and void ten years from the date of approval of the original credit by the City Council. Transfer of credits or partial use of credits shall in no event extend the expiration date of those credits. 13.52.050 -Accessory Dwelling Units There shall be no Water System Development Charge for connection of Accessory Dwelling Units to the city water system. 13.52.060 -Application for connection-Use classification of property. A. Any property owner seeking to connect his property to the water system of the city shall file with the city an application to be on a form provided by the city. The application shall contain the name and address of the property owner, the location of the property to be connected to the water system, the nature of the structure to be constructed on the subject property, the proposed use of the subject property, and any relevant information deemed necessary by the city to process the application.
