area districts will be calculated by the city to reasonably represent the benefit the city's stormwater and surface water drainage system provides to the property in the particular stormwater area district. The city council determines that such benefit is in addition to any previous assessment or charge for construction of any stormwater interceptor, trunk, or sub- trunk, and does not include any other fee or charge for service or availability, any amount paid for any permit fee, charges paid for inspection of connection pursuant to any other ordinance of the city or any other governmental agency or entity. (c)Connection and volume control use charges. The applicable stormwater and surface water system connection charge or volume control use charge shall be imposed by the city upon those parcels or land located within the boundaries of any applicable stormwater area district. No city approvals, including, but not limited to, building permits or other development permits or approvals, shall be issued, or any permits or approvals granted, within the established stormwater area district, except upon payment of such stormwater and surface water system connection or volume control use charges to the city. At the time a city approval, such as a building permit or development permit or approval, is required, the stormwater and surface water system connection or volume control use charge shall be computed by the city. Payment of the connection or volume control use charge shall be required at the time the permit is issued or approval granted. (d)Establishment of the Downtown Regional Stormwater District and connection charges. The Downtown Regional Stormwater District is hereby established, and shall encompass that area of land and those lots, parcels, and pieces of property within the city, that are more particularly described and depicted on the city's Downtown Regional Stormwater District Map which is on file with the city clerk. This map and all notations, references, and data thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this section and shall have the same force and effect as if fully set forth and described within this section. The amount of the Downtown Regional Stormwater District connection charge is set forth in the city's fee schedule. (e)Establishment of the Regional Infiltration Basin Stormwater District and volume control use charge. The Regional Infiltration Basin Stormwater District is hereby established, and shall encompass that area of land and those lots, parcels, and pieces of property within the city, that are within the Downs Lake Subwatershed as defined by the Valley Branch Watershed District. The purpose of this charge is to allow properties within the Regional Infiltration Basin Stormwater District to pay a use charge in order to receive a credit toward meeting the volume control requirements for the property's Valley Branch Watershed District permit. The property is not allowed to connect to and discharge stormwater to the city's regional infiltration basin. The amount of the regional infiltration basin volume control use charge is set forth in the city's fee schedule. If or when the volume control capacity is depleted at the regional infiltration basin, stormwater management must be provided elsewhere by the property owner.
