SUMMARY: Resolution 2018-21 (Exhibit 12-A) amends Rule 24, Table
2: Non-Residential Water Use Factors to simplify the types of water uses in
each of the groups. Group I has been
clarified as low water uses such as general office and low water use retail
space (non-retail Group I uses were moved to Group III as part of this action). Group II contains all food-related uses that
are not full-service restaurants or bars (including hotel banquet rooms). Non-food Group II uses were moved into Group
III. The following factors are now in
Group III: Bars (because the factor
includes outdoor areas that are included in the ABC license), dry cleaners that
have on-site clothes washers, nail salons, recreational vehicle water hookups,
and schools and churches. A fifth group
has been added for industrial uses, such as cannabis manufacturing, where staff
must review the business plan or other information to determine the Water Use
Capacity.
The Water Demand Committee
reviewed these changes on November 6, 2018, and unanimously supported the changes. There was some discussion at the Committee
about whether “bar” should be in Group II or Group III, but staff recommends
bars be in Group III due to the liquor license square-footage. The Committee concurred that the proposed
amendments will be easier to understand.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board should adopt Resolution 2018-21 and approve changes to Table II.
