§ 6-536. ASSURING ADEQUATE CAPACITY IN DESIGNATED AREAS OF UNCERTAIN WATER CAPACITY.

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, this section shall apply to development in any area of the city designated by the Council (by ordinance, resolution, official plan or policy) for which the Council has determined adequate water capacity is uncertain, due to ground water contamination, pollution, condition of drought, or emergency within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21060.3 resulting in a condition which is dangerous to the health or safety or both of the residents of the area.

(b)

The Council may require all development not yet constructed in any area of the city, as provided in Subdivision (a) where water capacity is uncertain, including approved tentative subdivision and tentative parcel maps and all other development subject to a special permit for which building permits have not yet been issued, to be subjected to the water findings procedure of the Woodward Park Community Plan, adopted by the Council on December 5, 1989, for determining if an adequate supply of water is available. In such situations the Council may impose conditions of approval deemed necessary by the Public Works Director or the Fire Chief which will ensure that an adequate supply of water is available at the time of occupancy of the development. These conditions of approval may include but are not limited to construction of facilities to enhance the supply or delivery of water to the development.

(c)

All development for which building permits have not yet been issued in any area of the city, as provided in Subdivision (a) where water capacity is uncertain, shall be subject to all fees established by the Council for water system enhancements, including but not limited to the water capacity fee in accordance with the provisions of Section 6-507 and the Master Fee Resolution.
