SUMMARY: Resolution 2017-16 (Exhibit 4-A) moves “Bar” from
Non-Residential water use factor Group III to Group II.
Staff reviewed the water use
history, business square footage, and seat counts for eight businesses that were
non-restaurant bars and found that the average water use was equivalent to that
of the current Group II factor (0.0002 AF/SF).
The amount of water needed for a bar associated with a restaurant is different
due to the amount of water used in a full-service restaurant kitchen and
laundry. The Water Demand Committee
discussed this revision at its November 20, 2017 meeting and supports the relocation
of “Bar” to the Group II commercial water use category. The use of the ABC licensed premise area was
also discussed, particularly as these businesses are utilizing patios, porches
and decks that can be screened, covered and heated. The following ABC license types would be
appropriate for this category: 01, 02,
23, 40, 42, 48, 51, 52, 57, and 61.
RECOMMENDATION: By adopting Resolution 2017-16 with the Consent Calendar, Rule 24, Table II will be amended to add “Bar” to Group II and to use the ABC area for calculation of Water Use Capacity. If approved, the amended Water Use Factor would apply to future Water Permit applications and modifications to existing business operations. Existing businesses will be reassigned to the appropriate category based on their current business model.
