San Clemente Municipal Code Ch. 13.16 Water Acreage Assessment Charge

For all development hereafter undertaken, a water acreage assessment charge shall be paid, the amount of said charge to be as established by resolution of the City Council.

(Prior code § 32A-4)

Funds collected from the water acreage assessment charge are to be placed into the water fund and are intended to be used for construction of water facilities hereafter incurred, namely, reservoirs and booster stations, bond service including principal and interest on all bonds issued to finance construction of water system facilities and for refund to developers installing certain required oversize facilities. In the event of refund, computation will be at the rate of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per gross acre, or fractional portion thereof, served, but in no event shall such resultant sum exceed the amount previously determined to be refunded. Such refunds shall be paid only to those developers whose facilities are subsequently utilized directly by the service contributing such assessment charge.

Wherever the words "fractional portion" are used in this chapter, the charge for a fractional portion of an acre shall be that proportion which the lesser land area bears to a full acre.
