§ 70-186. Calculation of reduction.

It is the policy of the city to encourage the placement or retrofitting of stormwater management facilities on developed properties, which facilities have the capability of reducing or mitigating stormwater flow or pollution beyond such levels as may be imposed by the land development regulations of the city or the St. Johns River Water Management District. Such policy shall be implemented as follows:

(1)

A reduction or credit against the stormwater management utility fee is authorized for those developed properties which are addressed by a stormwater retention facility designed and constructed for the purpose of stormwater flow mitigation and pollution reduction if it meets designated standards.

(2)

The stormwater utility fee for a particular property may be reduced if the stormwater runoff from the property is served by a stormwater management facility that has been designed, constructed, and is maintained properly for the purpose of stormwater flow mitigation and pollution reduction, and if the stormwater management facility is constructed, owned, operated, and maintained by an entity other than the city.

(3)

For those residential properties meeting the applicable standards set forth in this section of the City Code of Ordinances, the city shall issue a credit of ten percent of the applicable stormwater utility fee.
