(a) Authorization. The City Council is empowered by this chapter to establish, upon recommendation of the Director, service charges for the use and discharge to the city's stormwater management system. Such service charges shall be based on the cost of providing stormwater management services to all properties within the General Services District of the Consolidated City of Jacksonville, as set forth in the Charter of the City of Jacksonville, excluding Urban Services Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 being the Cities of Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and the Town of Baldwin. As of 2007, the annual cost of providing stormwater services is approximately $33,000,000.
(b) Rates for stormwater management service. There will be a charge for all Owners of real property in the city covered by this ordinance, who have improvements or uses thereon which contribute stormwater runoff to the city's stormwater management system, a monthly stormwater service charge. The basic stormwater service charge shall be $5 per month per SFU, or $60 per year per SFU, as found in fees, as follows:
|Single-Family detached residential 1549 or less square feet impervious area |.5 SFU |$2.50 per month |
|Single-Family detached residential with impervious area between 1550 and 4650 square feet |1.0 SFU |$5.00 per month |
|Single-Family detached residential with impervious area greater than 4650 square feet |1.5 SFU |$7.50 per month |
|Townhouse, duplex tri-plex, quad-plex and condominium |.49 SFU |$2.45 per month |
|Mobile home and mobile home park |.81 SFU |$4.05 per month |
|Multi-family dwelling units with 5—9 units |.32 SFU |$1.60 per month |
|Multi-family dwelling units with greater than 9 units |.44 SFU |2.20 per month |
All nonresidential properties shall be calculated based on the following calculation: Square footage of impervious area divided by 3100 equals the SFU billing units. The fee calculation as found in fees will be multiplied by the number of billing units × $5 per month will be to calculate the property stormwater service charge per month.
(c) Application to certain developed properties. Service charges shall apply to all developed properties, except public right of way and roads developed in accordance with City standards in residential developments, covered by this ordinance within the city using the city's stormwater management system, including those properties classified as nonprofit or tax-exempt for ad valorem tax purposes, except those specifically entitled to User Fee Credits, User Fee Adjustments or User Fee Reductions as set forth herein.
