The cost of the annual operation and maintenance of the improvements are hereby referred to Conti & Associates, Inc., Eagle, Idaho, as the Engineer of Work for this district (the “Engineer of Work”), and the Engineer’s Report is attached for preliminary review and approval (Attachment A). A Public Hearing will be necessary, and if adopted the Resolution would schedule the hearing on September 29, 2020. Staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed Resolution.
DISCUSSION
Background
On November 1, 2016, the City was issued a revised Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (Order No. R5-2016-0040-002) by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
BD Homes Subdivision, Zone 15 consists of 2.34 acres and 13 residential lots. The project is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Stockton and is bound on the north by existing residential, on the south by BD Homes Subdivision Road, on the east by Delta Sierra Middle School and on the west by existing residential and commercial properties as shown on the Location Map (Attachment B).
To comply with the SWQCCP and NPDES permit requirements, the BD Homes Subdivision, Zone 15 subdivision proposed to use a mechanical stormwater filter by Contech Stormwater Solution, Inc. The mechanical stormwater filter system is a stormwater treatment device approved by the City of Stockton SWQCCP for treating stormwater runoff from this project site.
Present Situation
As part of the Conditions of Approval for any development project, the Owners/Developers/Successors-in-Interest (ODS) are required to install certain public stormwater quality improvements and provide operations and maintenance services for the proposed treatment features. BD Homes Subdivision, Zone 15 is being created within the existing Maintenance District to provide funding for the continued operation, maintenance, and replacement costs of the proposed stormwater quality improvements (mechanical filter). The funding for Zone 15 will be provided through an annual assessment based on the stormwater runoff from individual parcels. The annual budgets for such tasks will be presented each year to the City Council for approval for the BD Homes Subdivision, Zone 15. The operation of the stormwater system will be governed by a Stormwater Treatment Device Access and Maintenance Agreement by the City.
The formation of the Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1 was approved and adopted by the City Council on July 26, 2005, and BD Homes Subdivision, Zone 15 will become part of this District by adopting the above resolutions (Attachment C). The maximum annual maintenance assessment for Zone 15 will be $808.69 per parcel based on a single-family residence, which is also the actual 2021-2022 assessment. The maximum annual assessment includes a yearly increase, which is the greater of three percent (3.00%), or the yearly increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) if required by increased maintenance costs.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The City of Stockton has no financial contribution related to the Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1 annexation, the formation of Zone 15 or the annual maintenance costs. All fees and other costs and expenses incurred are payable solely by the annual tax roll by the owner/developer of the properties in the proposed district.
The annexation will result in approval of a maximum assessment. The actual FY 2021-2022 levy on developed parcels will be determined and budgeted during the annual Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance District 2005-1 budget process.
