Section 6. Code Amendment, Sec. 19-164(a). The City of Winter Springs Code, Section 19-
164(a) is hereby amended as follows: (underlined type indicates additions and type indicates
deletions).
(a) The stormwater management utility fee shall be three dollars and twenty-five cents ($3.25) per ERU, and shall be calculated
for each developed property as follows:
1. The fee for residential developed property is the rate for one (1) ERU
multiplied by the number of dwelling units existing on the property. That is,
Fee = ERU X number of Dwelling Units.
2. The fee for nonresidential property is the rate for one (1) ERU multiplied
by the numerical factor. The numerical factor is obtained by dividing the
total impervious area in square feet of the nonresidential property by the
square footage for one (1) ERU as set forth in the rate resolution. The
resulting calculation is, Fee = ERU rate X (parcel impervious area
expressed in square feet/the square footage for one [1] ERU).
