Stormwater rates: A multi-year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual increase for single family residential (classifications 2 & 3). Staff’s proposal for 2023 is to sunset the annual fixed amount increase and have no increase in single family stormwater charge for 2023. The current rate amount is comparable to the range of surveyed rates shown on Exhibit E. Future single-family rate increases will be determined based on cost drivers, projected project needs and overall fund balance. The City’s commercial stormwater rates however are below the rates charged for high density and commercial/industrial/institution classifications. The city’s 2022 rates are 3-4 times the single-family rate. The surveyed 2022 rates for these classifications are 7- 12.5 times the single-family rates. Therefore, staff is proposing a phase in approach to increase the high density and commercial/industrial/institution rates. Employing the same multi-year approach as used for single family rates increases, this approach results in the fixed amount increase reflected in the chart below. These additional charges will aid in supplementing the funding for future street reconstruction and major stormwater improvements in the industrial and retail districts as they are redeveloped. The proposed 2023 Stormwater quarterly rate increases by land use categories is detailed below: Classification-Land Use 2023 Proposed quarterly rate 2022 quarterly rate $ Change 2- R-1, R-1a, and R-2 residential $16.85 per unit $16.85 per unit -$ 3- R-3 residential $16.85 per unit $16.85 per unit -$ 4- Schools and institutional uses $47.15 per acre $40.15 per acre 7.00$ 5- R-4 Residential, churches and manufactured home parks $60.21 per acre $51.21 per acre 9.00$ 6- Commercial and industrial $75.98 per acre $63.98 per acre 12.00$ 1-Cemeteries, parks, golf courses, railroads, vacant land $17.44 per acre $17.44 per acre $ -
