			General Manager	Line Item No.:

General Counsel Review: No
Committee Recommendation: N/A
CEQA Compliance: This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

SUMMARY: Staff is proposing the word “bistro” be deleted from Group II on the Non-Residential Water Use Factors table as “bistro” is defined as a “small restaurant.” Staff has recently reviewed several bistro business concepts that are more suitable for the restaurant factor. Having the term “bistro” in the Group II listings is problematic: A project could obtain approvals from the Jurisdiction as a Group II use only to find that the District considers the project to be a restaurant when the Water Permit application is reviewed.

Group II uses are not restaurants, but are non-restaurant uses that primarily serve take-out food or food on disposable plates/containers. Group II uses include bakeries, delis, take-out pizza, etc. Rule 24 allows changes to Table 2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors through Resolution of the Board of Directors.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2017-14 to delete “bistro” from Group II on Table 2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors.
