EXHIBIT 7-A

DRAFT

RESOLUTION NO. 2014‑12

A Resolution of the Board of Directors of

the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District

Amending Table 2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors

WHEREAS District Rule 24-B (Non-Residential Calculation of Water Use Capacity) allows changes to Table 2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors through Resolution of the Board of Directors; and

WHEREAS the Water Demand Committee requested that staff use the approval of a variance for Santa Lucia at the March 2015 Board meeting as a basis for defining Group II guidelines; and

WHEREAS staff has added language to Table 2, Non-Residential Water Use Factors in response to the committee’s direction; and

WHEREAS conditions related to the Group II food uses will be printed on the Water Permit and will not be recorded on the title of the property; and

WHEREAS the current Non-Residential Water Use Factor for convenience stores (i.e. 7-11/Quik Stop/gas station convenience stores, etc.) is Group II (0.0002 Acre-Foot Annually per square-foot) which does not reflect current Water Use Capacity; and

WHEREAS the Group I Water Use Factor of 0.00007 Acre-Foot Annually per square-foot more appropriately characterizes the water demand for convenience stores.

WHEREAS the current Non-Residential Water Use Factor for dry cleaners is Group II (0.0002 Acre-Foot Annually per square-foot) and does not reflect current Water Use Capacity which varies depending on whether the User does laundry On-Site; and

WHEREAS the Group Water Use Factor of 0.00007 Acre-Foot Annually per square-foot more appropriately characterizes the water demand for retail “dry cleaner” drop off locations that do not do laundry On-Site. Dry cleaner uses that do laundry shall be classified as “Other” and shall have appropriate demand estimates based on their proposed uses.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District resolves that District Rule 24-B, Table 2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors shall be modified as shown in Attachment 1.

On motion of Director Pendergrass, and second by Director Byrne, the foregoing resolution is duly adopted this 23rd day of July 2014 by the following vote:
