Agenda Item
Ordinance 2nd Reading - Stormwater Compliance:
Consider Ordinance No. 2022-O0142, amending Chapter 22, Utilities, Article 22.11, Stormwater Regulations of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lubbock, Texas, with regard to stormwater plan review fees; providing a savings clause; providing a penalty; and providing for publication.
Item Summary
On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance.
This ordinance will repeal Section 22.11.034, Mobile Wash Cleaning, in its entirety. This program was established in 2008 in an attempt to educate and regulate the mobile car wash industry, in order to protect and maintain the water quality in the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). This program has been very difficult to enforce and monitor. Mobile wash cleaning has not produced any noticeable detriments to the City's water quality. The products used in mobile wash cleaning are more environmentally friendly today than in the past. It is also not required in the permit with the state to monitor mobile wash cleaning. Accordingly, staff is recommending to stop formally monitoring this activity.
This ordinance will also revise Section 22.11.035, Stormwater Plan Review, and change the existing rate structure from total acres disturbed, to a flat fee. The proposed fee will be based on whether the activity type is residential, commercial, or a development Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3). The new rate structure as approved in the FY 2022-23 Budget is as follows:
Residential Full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWP3) - $200
Commercial Full SWP3 - $175
Development Full SWP3 - $700
Fiscal Impact
Plan review fees are anticipated to add $27,000 annually to the Stormwater Fund.
