EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending updates to the following fee programs:
1. Development Impact Fees (DIF’s)
2. Engineering Division hourly rates and inspection fees
3. Planning Division fees
Development Impact Fees (DIF’s)
Staff performed a comprehensive evaluation of the costs and infrastructure that comprise the DIF’s, including obtaining updated cost estimate updates from our sewer and water Master Plan consultants. This evaluation resulted in the determination of the rates as indicated by the Full Implementation option ( Attachment 1A and 1B ). For residential and non -residential development, the full implementation would result in an increase in overall fees that ranges from 27% to 40%, depending on location and land use of the proposed project. For example, for a single-family residential home built in Heritage Grove (15.5 units per acre) the DIF would increase from $25,429 to $32,903 for a total increase of $7,474 or 29% increase. For a home that sells for $375,000 the Full Implementation option would represent a 2% increase to the selling price ($7,474 / $375,000 = 2%).
In meetings with stakeholders and the Master Plan consultants, staff recognize s that the cost outlook for some facilities and construction elements are uncertain with the large fluctuations we have seen in recent months. Based on the uncertainty in those fee categories and the potential that costs may come down in the coming months , staff is proposing a Phased Implementation option (Attachments 1C and 1D) as an alternative for consideration and is recommending Council approval. The Phased implementation option implements 50% of the fee increases for sewer, water, and street fees immediately (60 days after approval in accordance with statute) with a full re-evaluation of these categories at the next fee update to see where prices are at that time and make the appropriate adjustments . If the Phased Implementation option is approved, staff will perform a comprehensive evaluation for the next fiscal year update to validate the proposed rates and for consideration by Council.
Under the Phased Implementation alternative, 50% of the increases for sewer, water, and streets is being deferred for a year pending future confirmation of the amount of the increase through a reevaluation of construction costs. Under this alternative, the immediate increases would range from 17% to 28%, depending on location and land use of the proposed project. For example, for a single-family residential home built in Heritage Grove (15.5 units per acre) the DIF would increase from $25,429 to $30,181 for a total increase of $4,753 or 18.7% increase. For a home that sells for $375,000 the Phased Implementation option would represent a 1.3% increase to the selling price ($4,753 / $375,000 = 1.3%).

AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
Engineering Division Hourly Rates
Engineering Division hourly rates need to be adjusted from $119 to $140 in order to offset increases in operational costs and maintain a functional level of service to the development community and operation of the Community Investment Program. Staff is proposing to begin implementing the new rates on August 29, 2022.
Planning Division Fee Schedule
The Planning Division fee schedule was last updated by Resolution 21 -103, which took effect November 15, 2021. The operational costs have increased for the Planning Division similar to the costs for the Engineering Division. A 2.94% across -the-board increase is recommended, based on the 5-year average change in the consumer price index (CPI). This methodology was used because it accounts for the changes in costs that have occurred since the comprehensive fee analysis was completed last year while avoiding the “spiking effect” that would have occurred if only the most recent year’s CPI was utilized. The revised fee schedule will provide the funding necessary for the Planning Division to maintain a functional level of service to the public.
BACKGROUND
Master Development Fee Schedule
The municipal code provides for an annual update of the DIF program either through a comprehensive review of the fee rates or through an adjustment based on the average CCI between the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas for the twelve (12) month period ending the prior December. The average of the two cities for December 2020 to December 2021 was an increase of 7.5%, which has an overall impact to the fees of approximately 9.9%.
Frequent adjustments are needed in order to attempt to keep pace with construction cost increases and fully fund the infrastructure associated with growth. The CCI provides a measurement of construction cost fluctuations and serves as a reasonable basis for adjusting the fees between a comprehensive review and in-depth cost reevaluations.
In its review this year, staff performed an in -depth review . The analysis studied current construction costs, re-evaluated the remaining planned City infrastructure, updated the trust fund balances, and reviewed market trends. The review also included updated estimates from the City’s sewer and water master plan consultants. Currently, certain costs are being affected by supply chain slowdowns, lack of availability of materials, and labor issues, just to name a few.
Staff has prepared two alternative updates to the rates in recognition of the uncertainty of the land and construction costs and where they will be in the coming months.
The Full Implementation alternative reflects current (as of January 2022) infrastructure costs as determined by the studies. In recognition of the uncertainty of whether these “current” costs are the new norm, or whether the current costs represent a peak and will ultimately come down in the coming year, staff has provided a Phased Implementation alternative which would implement 50% of the increase shown in staff’s study now and defer the remaining 50% increase until next year pending a new evaluation of construction cost levels at that time. This 50% phase -in approach would apply only to the rates for the Sewer, Water, and Street fee categories. These are the categories which stakeholders, the consultants, and staff felt the cost outlook was less 252
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
stable and less predictable. Staff is recommending that Council consider approval of the Phased Implementation alternative for FY 2022-2023. Staff would then reevaluate construction and land costs in as part of the next regular fee update to confirm whether the second increment of the increase should be implemented at the full amount or an adjusted amount.
Overall Results
For residential and non -residential development, the full implementation would result in an increase in overall fees that ranges from 27% to 40%, depending on location and land use of the proposed project. Attachment 1A contains the revised rates and Attachment 1B contains a summary of estimated fee obligations for several theoretical projects under the Full Implementation alternative.
Under the Phased Implementation alternative, 50% of the increases for sewer, water, and streets is being deferred for a year pending future confirmation of the amount of the increase through a reevaluation of construction costs. Under this alternative, the immediate increases would range from 17% to 28%, depending on location and land use of the proposed project. Attachment 1C contains the initial, or first phase, rates and Attachment 1D contains a summary of estimated fee obligations for the same theoretical projects but under the first phase of the Phased Implementation alternative.
Stakeholder Outreach
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to affect the look and number of public meetings.
While staff has made itself fully available for meetings and open discussion regarding the fees, participation has been limited as the various companies and entities have varying comfort with meeting in person. An email was provided to over 130 stakeholders describing the proposed increases and providing information pertaining to the cost evaluations and fee rate methodologies. All stakeholders were invited to meet through a series of five (5) bi -weekly meetings from March to May with in-person and virtual attendance options. The stakeholders included the Building Industry Association (BIA), Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD), the Clovis Unified School District, and several local residential and non -residential developers. The Full Implementation option was first discussed at the earliest meeting in March. The Phased Implementation option was developed and presented at the last meeting in April and was further discussed at the last and only meeting in May. Staff has included the written comments that have been received as Attachment 4. Other notable comments made at the meetings included, but are not limited to:
1. Discussion of the use and application of CCI for fee updates.
2. General description of the impacts already felt throughout the industry and concerns over the impacts that a large increase might have in today’s market.
3. General description of the impact of increasing interest rates for new loans.
4. Alternatives for reimbursements in order to incentivize a greater cost control for reimbursable items.
253
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code, Sections 66000 – 66024) Section 66001 of the government code requires that the City shall do all of the following at the time that it establishes, increases or imposes a fee as a condition of approval of a development project:
1. Identify the purpose of the fee.
2. Identify the use to which the fee is to be put (identify the public facilities to be constructed).
3. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship (nexus) between the fees and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
4. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship (nexus) between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Items 1 and 2 are clearly ide ntified in the municipal code. Items 3 and 4 are met through multiple actions taken by the City Council such as:
1. The General Plan
2. Specific Plans
3. Master Plans for Sewer, Water, Recycled Water, etc.
4. The method by which fee rates are established which evaluates the cost of improvements identified in the various adopted plans and distributes that cost among the developable properties within the respective service areas in rough proportion to their impact on, or need for, the public facilities.
County Developments
The Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Clovis and the County of Fresno (MOU) includes a provision for county developments within the Clovis Sphere of In fluence.
The agreement states the following:
“CITY development fees shall be charged for any discretionary development applications to be approved by the COUNTY within the CITY’s sphere of influence.
To establish or amend CITY development fees, CITY shall conduct a public hearing and notify property owners in accordance with State Law. At the conclusion of that hearing, CITY shall adopt a resolution describing the type, amount, and purpose of CITY fees to be requested for COUNTY adoption.”
“CITY shall transmit the adopted resolution to the COUNTY for its adoption of the fees. CITY shall include a draft ordinance for COUNTY’s adoption with appropriate supporting documentation or findings by the CITY demonstrating that the fees comply with Section 66000 of t he Government Code and other appl icable State Law requirements.”
254
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
The resolution under consideration includes a statement of finding that the fees are in compliance with the Government Code and describes the type, amount and purpose of the fees by reference to the Master Development Fee S chedule and the Municipal Code. This resolution and a draft ordinance will be transmitted to the County of Fresno for adoption upon approval by council.
State Assembly Bill (AB) 602
AB 602 took effect on January 1, 2022, affecting the adoption of development impact fees and their associated nexus studies. This new law imposes new rules for agencies who are imposing impact fees on new development, such as the need to post information related to its impact fees on its website, defining the process for adopting impact fees through a publicly noticed and public meeting, the need for large jurisdictions to adopt a capital improvement plan, and the need to update impact fee studies at least every eight years, all of which the City has been compliant with for some time.
AB 602 contains a requirement that new nexus studies adopted after July 1, 2022, will need to comply with Government Code Section 66001(a). New nexus studies that impose impact fees on housing development pr ojects will also need to be based on the square footage of the proposing housing units or make a three-part finding that justifies the alternative basis for the fee. The Clovis DIF’s currently apply impact fees on housing development projects on a per unit and gross acreage basis, but there is no need to make changes or the required findings at this time since there are no new fees proposed, no new nexus studies or revisions, and this action is occurring prior to July 1, 2022.
Plan Check, Inspection Servic es, Encroachment Permits and Community Investment Program Rates
The Engineering Division last updated the hourly rates in 20 21. This adjustment was simply based on the CPI. The cost of operations, including employee benefits, has been increasing and is expected to continue to rise for the foreseeable future. Staff is recommending an hourly rate of $140 to offset increases in operational costs and maintain a functional level of service to the development community and operation of the Community Investment Program . The proposed hourly rate is based on a recent evaluation of the specific cost for staff in the Planning and Development Services Department to operate, including salary, benefits, support services, and overhead.
In accordance with the Clovis Municipal Code, the Council establishes, by resolution, a schedule of fees for inspection, staking, and other services to be rendered by the City in connection with work performed by Engineering staff. Going forward, staff will continue to review the hourly rate and adjust according ly as part of the annual, or biannual review of the Development Impact Fees. The new rates will take effect 60 days following the approval of the resolution by Council.
255
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
Stakeholder Outreach
An email was provided to a group of over 130 stakeholders describing the proposed increase in the hourly rate on June 7, 2022 . The stakeholders were the same as the Development Impact Fe es, which included the Building Industry Association (BIA), Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD), the Clovis Unified School District, and several local residential and non-residential developers. No comments had been received as of the completion of this staff report.
Planning Division fee schedule
A comprehensive fee analysis and update to the Planning Division Fee Schedule was presented to the Council for adoption in September of 2021. The 2021 fee update included significant increases for most fee categories because the fees had not been updated since 2009. In Its discussions with both stakeholders and the Council, Staff outlined its intent to proceed with routine or annual updates in the future to avoid the large increases seen in 2021.
To the extent feasible, an analysis of the fees will be conducted annually as part of the budget preparation process and any recommended updates will be presented before the end of each fiscal year (June 30th).
Based on the evaluation completed this spring, Staff is recommending an update to the 2021 Planning Division Fee Schedule utilizing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers. The CPI was identified as the most applicable index for an adjustment to the Planning fees, which are based primarily on personnel costs. The recommended methodology utilizes the average of the last five (5) years of the CPI percentage changes to arrive at a total increase of 2.94%. While it is relatively common to use the single year change in CPI to make these routine annual adjustments, a five-year average is recommended for the 2022 update because the change in most recent year CPI is over 7%, reflecting the high rate of inflation and related factors affecting the entire country is currently experiencing. Fee updates should avoid “spiking” factors that may not be sustained over time. An annual adjustment of over 7% would exceed actual and anticipated changes in processing costs.
Three entitlement types are excepted from this increase: Small Home Occupatio n Permits, Staff Research & Document Preparation, and the Redistribution Fee for applications during the commenting period. These three entitlements are proposed to be increased from the current hourly rate of $119 per hour to $140 per hour as proposed by the Engineering Division.
The “per acre, per building permit, per sign, per unit, and per lot” fees are also not being proposed to change. Staff is proposing to include two new entitlement types and procedural workflows to the 2022 Planning Fee Schedule Update:
1. Tentative Parcel Maps under SB-9 (The California Home Act) requirements
2. Final Parcel Maps under SB-9 (The California Home Act) requirements
These new fee categories are necessary to properly implement the provisions of SB-9 allowing streamlined lot splits. The fees are based on the City’s “standard” parcel map fees, with changes to reflect the specific requirements of SB-9. The most significant difference is that SB- 9 prohibits public notice and public hearing processes, and costs related to those procedures 256
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
have been removed. The new rates within Planning Division Fee schedule will take effect 60 days following the approval of the resolution by Council.
Stakeholder Outreach
An email was provided to a group of over 130 stakeholders describing the proposed changes to the Planning Division Fee Schedule on June 7, 2022. The stakeholders were the same as the Development Impact Fees, which included the Building Industry Association (BIA), Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD), the Clovis Unified School District, and several local residential and non -residential developers. No comments had been received as of the completion of this staff report.
California Environmental Quality Act
The proposed fee adjustments have been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and based upon the Public Resources Code Section 15061 (b)(3), there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, therefore, all are exempt from CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
In general, t he adjustments to the Development Impact F ee rates will provide funding commensurate with current land acquisition and construction costs for the public facilities needed to serve new development. With the 50% implementation alternative, there is potential that there could be a shortfall in revenue for the sewer, water, and street fee categories if it is later found that the current high costs of construction and right -of-way are sustained over the next year. If costs do not come down, the estimated revenue forgone would be around $3,600,000.
Engineering Department Plan Check, Inspection Services, Encroac hment Permits, and Community Investment Program revenue increases will offset increased staff costs and allow City staff to maintain the current level of plan check and inspection services. The increase in the hourly rate will cover the increased costs of CIP staff.
Planning Division revenue increases will offset increased staff costs and allow City staff to maintain the current level of service for entitlement applications.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Municipal Code requires annual review and adjustmen t of the development fees based on actual land acquisition and construction costs or the percentage increase or decrease in the Engineering News Record Index for the California Cities for the twelve (12) month period ending the prior December. Staff is recommending an adjustment to the Development Impact Fee rates based on the Phased Implementation option in light of the current market conditions. Staff will perform a comprehensive evaluation of construction and land costs in order to confirm whether the second increment of the increase should be implemented at the full amount or an adjusted amount for the next fiscal year.
257
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
Staff is recommending an increase in the hourly billing rate to $140 per hour to cover the cost of staff services provided on Plan Che cks, Inspection Services, Encroachment Permits, and Community Investment Program projects.
Staff is recommending a revision to the Planning Division fee schedule to cover the cost of staff services provided on entitlement applications. The recommended adj ustments are consistent with the discussion presented to stakeholders and the Council in 2021, during which Staff outlined its intent to proceed with routine or annual adjustments to the fees.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
1. Staff will notify the development c ommunity and implement the new fee rates for the Development Impact Fees 60 days after approval of the resolution.
2. Staff will proceed with getting the fees adopted by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
3. Staff will notify the development community and implement the new rates for Plan Check, Inspection Services, Encroachment Permits, and the Community Investment Program 60 days after approval of the resolution.
4. Staff will notify the development community and implement the new rates for the Planning Fee Schedule 60 days after approval of the resolution.

Re: 2022 Developer Impact Fee Increase
De Young Properties would like to submit the following comments regarding the upcoming proposed developer impact fee increase for 2022. First, we would like to commend Staff for their comprehensive research, analysis, and reporting. We would also like to thank Staff for their willingness to meet with and listen to the feedback of the development community. This particular fee increase will have a significant impact on new construction in the City of Clovis, and it is important to fully understand these impa cts before the path forward is decided on.
Second, the real estate market conditions are becoming increasingly tenuous due to a major rise in home prices and, more recently, interest rates. In fact, first time buyer traffic and sales across our entire industry has dropped nearly 20% year over year because interest rates are nearing 6%. We have personally seen this affect at our most recent Pre-Grand Opening in late April where we lost almost half of all interested prospects due to the fact they no longer qualified because interest rates are rising so high so fast. Housing affordability has significantly eroded away, and we are very concerned increasing developer impact fees to the degree Staf f has proposed could decimate the housing industry. Costs across the board have all been going up and in this changing market, builders will no longer be able to increase sales prices. In fact, it is estimated sales prices will recede. Considering City of Clovis developer impact fees are already some of the highest in the area, this make developing in Clovis all the more concerning.
Lastly, Staff has discussed with the development community a number of alternative routes to the full fee increase. De Young Properties would like to strongly recommend the City move forward with the “7.5% CCI” route and defer the rest of the increase to next year. The reason for this recommendation is because the rest of the increase is predo minantly due to a sharp rise in the cost of specific materials, which we believe will eventually peak and then decrease. This deferment w ill allow Staff and the development community more time to monitor these costs and then act appropriately with next year’s review of impact fees. To us, the volatility of these costs looks to be temporary, so we feel it would be prudent to take 290
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
additional time to monitor before taking action that could have a very negative impact on the housing market in the City of Clovis.
As always, we appreciate your time and attention.
Sincerely,

AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Public Utilities Department
DATE: June 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Receive and File – Update on the State Water Board’s Emergency Resolution to Reduce Water Demand and Improve Water Conservation.
Staff: Paul Armendariz, Assistant Public Utilities Director Recommendation: Receive and File
ATTACHMENTS: 1. State Water Resources Control Board Resolution No. 2022-0018

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to receive and file an update on the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) Emergency Resolution to reduce water demand and improve water conservation in response to the Governor’s declared statewide drought.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order regarding the statewide drought and asked urban water suppliers to increase water conservation. The Executive Order also included a request for the State Water Board to create emergency regulation text requiring urban water suppliers to implement Level 2 of their water shortage contingency plans (WSCP) and establish a ban on the irrigation of non-functional turf by entities in the commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) sectors. On May 24, 2022, the State Water Board adopted an Emergency Resolution to Reduce Water Demand and Improve Water Conservation (Attachment 1) per the Governor’s Executive Order.
The City is already operating at Level 2 per the WSCP and has been since the 2015 drought in an effort to continue to conserve water. Level 2 consists of three (3) days per week outdoor watering during the months of April through October, and one (1) day per week from November through March. Staff will continue to enforce the City’s water waste and water conservation ordinance. Staff will also continue public outreach to inform and educate customers of the ongoing drought and of the multiple water conservation tools the City offers, such as rebates for 292
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
water-efficient appliances, list of acceptable dr ought-tolerant plants, and indoor and outdoor water use audits.
Per the State’s regulation regarding the ban on irrigation of non-functional turf for CII customers, staff will communicate the State’s irrigation restrictions through multiple outreach measures, such as social media and billing inserts and/or direct mailers. Information and e ducation will continue through the duration of the regulation being in effect, which is expected to last for at least one year. The emergency regulation makes violat ions of the ban an infraction . Any entity that is already authorized to enforce infractions, such as a water supplier or local government, may choose to enforce violations of the regulation. At this time, staff does not propose to fine or penalize CII customers, but instead will communicate and educate on the State-required ban of non-functional turf and the importance of conserving water. City staff will also be decreasing irrigation use on City -owned and maintained non-functional turf areas, like streetside landscaping. Maintaining the health of trees is an important requirement in the State’s regulation; therefore, staff will continue to irrigate City -owned trees and will be communicating this requirement to customers.
BACKGROUND
On April 21, M ay 10, July 8, and October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued proclamations that a state of emergency exists statewide due to severe drought conditions and directed state agencies to take immediate action to preserve critical water supplies , mitigate the eff ects of drought, and ensure the protection of health, safety, and the environment. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order directing the State Water Board to consider adopting emergency regulations to increase water conservation. On Ma y 24, 2022, the State Water Board adopted an Emergency Resolution to Reduce Water Demand and Improve Water Conservation. The emergency regulation is expected to become effective mid -June and will remain in effect for one year, unless the State Water Board modifies, readopts, or ends it before then.
CII refers to commercial water users, industrial water users, and institutional water users, and includes homeowners' associations (HOAs), common interest developments, community service organizations, and othe r similar entities , but does not include the residences of these entities' members or separate interests. Non-functional turf means turf that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events. Non-functional turf does not include sports fields, school fields, and parks. Residential properties are not included in the ban on irrigation of non-functional turf.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is a potential for some loss in revenue and that amount will depend on the actual reduction in water use by residential and CII customers. However, the Water Enterprise Fund is expected to remain stable with sufficient drought reserves. If more restrictive or mandated conservation measures are imposed, staff will evaluate the need to implement the Council-adopted drought rates.
293
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order directing the State Water Board to consider adopting emergency regulations to increase water conservation. On May 24, 2022, the State Water Board adopted said emergency regulations.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will continue to follow the State Water Board emergency regulation s. Should further restrictions be needed, such as imposing drought rates or fines for non -compliance, staff will seek Council direction prior to implementing.

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-0018
TO ADOPT AN EMERGENCY REGULATION
TO REDUCE WATER DEMAND AND IMPROVE WATER CONSERVATION
WHEREAS:
1. On April 21, May 10, July 8, and October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued proclamations that a state of emergency exists statewide due to severe drought conditions and directed state agencies to take immediate action to preserve critical water supplies and mitigate the effects of drought and ensure the protection of health, safety, and the environment.
2. These proclamations urge Californians to reduce their water use.
3. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order directing the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board or Board) to consider adopting emergency regulations to increase water conservation. The Executive Order includes a request that the Board require urban water suppliers to implement Level 2 of their water shortage contingency plans, establish water shortage response actions for urban water suppliers that have not submitted water shortage contingency plans, taking into consideration model actions that the Department of Water Resources, and establish a ban on the irrigation of non- functional turf by entities in the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.
4. Many Californians and urban water suppliers have taken bold steps over the years to reduce water use; nevertheless, the severity of the current drought requires additional conservation actions from urban water suppliers, residents, and the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.
5. Water conservation is the easiest, most efficient, and most cost-effective way to quickly reduce water demand and extend limited water supplies through this summer and into the next year, providing flexibility for all California communities.
Water saved is water available next year, giving water suppliers added flexibility to manage their systems effectively over time. The more water that is conserved now, the less likely it is that a community will experience dire shortages that may require water rationing or other emergency actions.
6. Most Californians use more water outdoors than indoors. In many areas, 50 percent or more of daily water use is for irrigation of lawns and outdoor landscaping irrigation. Outdoor water use is generally discretionary, and many irrigated landscapes would not suffer greatly from receiving a decreased amount of water.
ATTACHMENT 1
295
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
2 7. The use of potable water to irrigate turf on commercial, industrial, or institutional properties that is not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events can be reduced in commercial, industrial, and institutional areas to protect local water resources and enhance water resiliency.
8. Public information and awareness are critical to achieving conservation goals, and the Save Our Water campaign (SaveOurWater.com), run jointly by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Association of California Water Agencies, is an excellent resource for conservation information and messaging that is integral to effective drought response.
9. SaveWater.CA.Gov is an online tool designed to help save water in communities.
This website lets anyone easily report water waste from their phone, tablet, or computer by simply selecting the type of water waste they see, typing in the address where the waste is occurring, and clicking send. These reports are filed directly with the State Water Board and relevant local water supplier.
10.Enforcement against water waste is a key tool in conservation programs. When conservation becomes a social norm in a community, the need for enforcement is reduced or eliminated.
11.On March 28, 2022, the Governor suspended the environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act to allow State Water Board-adopted drought conservation emergency regulations and other actions to take place quickly to respond to emergency conditions.
12.Water Code section 1058.5 grants the State Water Board the authority to adopt emergency regulations in certain drought years in order to: “prevent the waste, unreasonable use, unreasonable method of use, or unreasonable method of diversion, of water, to promote water recycling or water conservation, to require curtailment of diversions when water is not available under the diverter’s priority of right, or in furtherance of any of the foregoing, to require reporting of diversion or use or the preparation of monitoring reports.”
13.On May 13, 2022, the State Water Board issued public notice that it will consider the adoption of the regulation at the Board’s regularly scheduled May 24, 2022 public meeting, in accordance with applicable State laws and regulations. The State Water Board also distributed for public review and comment a Finding of Emergency that complies with State laws and regulations.
14.The emergency regulation exempts suppliers from enforcing connection moratoria, if their Level 2 demand management actions call for them, because new residential connections are critical to addressing the state’s housing supply shortage. However, the Board recognizes connections for other projects may not be appropriate given the shortage conditions and urges water suppliers to carefully evaluate new development projects for their water use impacts. 296
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
3 15.Disadvantaged communities may require assistance responding to Level 2 conservation requirements, including irrigation restrictions, temporary changes to rate structures, and prohibited water uses. State shortage contingency plans aimed at increasing water conservation, and state and local agencies should look for opportunities to provide assistance in promoting water conservation. This assistance should include but not be limited to translation of regulation text and dissemination of water conservation announcements into languages spoken by at least 10 percent of the people who reside in a water supplier’s service area, such as in newspaper advertisements, bill inserts, website homepage, social media, and notices in public libraries.
16.The Board directs staff to consider the following in pursuing any enforcement of section 996, subdivision (e): before imposing monetary penalties, staff shall provide one or more warnings; monetary penalties must be based on an ability to pay determination, consider allowing a payment plan of at least 12 months, and shall not result in a tax lien; and Board enforcement shall not result in shutoff.
17.The Board encourages entities other than Board staff that consider any enforcement of this regulation to apply these same factors identified in resolved paragraph 16. Nothing in the regulation or in the enforcement provisions of the regulation precludes a local agency from exercising its authority to adopt more stringent conservation measures. Moreover, the Water Code does not impose a mandatory penalty for violations of the regulation adopted by this resolution, and local agencies retain their enforcement discretion in enforcing the regulation, to the extent authorized, and may develop their own progressive enforcement practices to encourage conservation.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The State Water Board adopts California Code of Regulations, title 23, section 996, as appended to this resolution as an emergency regulation that applies to urban water suppliers, as defined by Water Code section 10617.
2. State Water Board staff shall submit the regulation to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for final approval.
3. If, during the approval process, State Water Board staff, the State Water Board, or OAL determines that minor corrections to the language of the regulation or supporting documentation are needed for clarity or consistency, the State Water Board Executive Director or designee may make such changes. 297
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
4. This regulation shall remain in effect for one year after filing with the Secretary of State unless the State Water Board determines that it is no longer necessary due to changed conditions or unless the State Water Board renews the regulation due to continued drought conditions, as described in Water Code section 1058.5.
5. The State Water Board directs State Water Board staff to work with the Department of Water Resources and the Save Our Water campaign to disseminate information regarding the emergency regulation.
6. The State Water Board directs staff to, by January 1, 2023, survey urban water suppliers on their experience protecting trees and tree cover during drought, with attention to disadvantaged communities. The survey shall inquire about challenges encountered, strategies used, costs, and successes in protecting trees.
7. Nothing in the regulation or in the enforcement provisions of the regulation precludes a local agency from exercising its authority to adopt more stringent conservation measures. Local agencies are encouraged to develop their own progressive enforcement practices to promote conservation.

Second Water Conservation
Emergency Regulation of 2022
Frequently Asked Questions
Updated: June 6, 2022
General Information
1)Where can I find information on the State Water Board's second water conservation emergency regulation of 2022?
You can find updated documents and subscribe to the Water Conservation Regulations email list for announcements on the State Water Board’s Water Conservation Emergency Regulations webpage.
2) When will the emergency regulation be in effect?
The emergency regulation is expected to become effective on or about June 16, 2022.
The official date will be posted on the Water Conservation Emergency Regulations webpage.
3) How long will the emergency regulation be in effect? Once the emergency regulation takes effect, it will remain in effect for one year, unless the State Water Board (Board) modifies it, readopts it, or ends it before then. 4) Where can I find the adopted emergency regulation?
The adopted regulation text is available on the Board’s Water Conservation Emergency Regulations webpage.
5) What is now required?
• Urban water suppliers must submit preliminary supply and demand assessments to the Department of Water Resources by June 1, 2022.
• Urban water suppliers must implement all conservation actions in their locally adopted plans meant to address at least a water shortage level of 10 to 20 percent (Level 2) by June 10, 2022.
• Owners and managers of commercial, industrial, and institutional properties must not use potable water for irrigating non-functional turf.
Non-Functional Turf
6) What is “turf”?
Turf means “a ground cover surface of mowed grass.” This official definition of turf can be found in section 491 of title 23 of the California Code of Regulations.
ATTACHMENT 2
302
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
7) What is “non-functional turf”?
Non-functional turf is a ground cover surface of mowed grass that is ornamental and not otherwise used for human recreation purposes. Non-functional turf does not include school fields, sports fields, and areas regularly used for civic or community events. 8)Does the non-functional turf irrigation ban apply to residential properties?
No, residential properties may continue to irrigate turf, subject to local rules. The Board encourages people to reduce turf irrigation on their properties and to convert turf to water-wise plants, but those are not required by this regulation. For more information and practical tips for converting your landscape and making your yard more water-wise, visit SaveOurWater.com.
9)Are there any exceptions to the non-functional turf irrigation ban? The ban only applies to irrigation of non-functional turf in the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors and only applies to irrigation with potable water. It does not apply to residential lawns or any turf that is regularly used for human recreational purposes, such as community spaces, or sports fields and other turf spaces used for recreation or events. The regulation does not ban the irrigation of trees or other non-turf plantings.
There is an exemption process available for certain low water using turf species and irrigation approaches. To be exempt from the ban, an owner or manager must provide to their water supplier evidence that they have met two requirements: (1) the user must certify that the turf species needs low levels of water (a plant factor of 0.3 or less; “plant factor” is a factor used to estimate the amount of water needed by plants – see section 491 of title 23 of the California Code of Regulations) and (2) the user must demonstrate that the turf is irrigated in a way that uses low levels of water (less than 40 percent of reference evapotranspiration). For more information on plant factors and reference evapotranspiration, see the state's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. 10)May people use recycled water or greywater to irrigate turf? Yes, however the Board encourages people to prioritize irrigation of trees and other plants due to the severity of the drought and the amount of water required for turf. 11)Does the regulation affect trees? Do urban trees need to be watered?
The regulation does not restrict the watering of trees, just turf. Although most mature trees often require little to no irrigation, some species do. The Board urges people to continue to water trees, even while reducing or stopping the irrigation of turf. Trees that are just getting established may need to be watered more frequently, including hand watering. Trees near or on non-functional turf could be impacted by some responses to the ban on turf irrigation, but the regulation allows continued irrigation of trees even if turf, such as turf under trees, will receive water. For more information about tree species and water needs, visit the Save Our Trees section within SaveOurWater.com. 2 303
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
12) Who will enforce the non-functional turf prohibition? Water suppliers and local governments are expected to communicate the ban on irrigation of non-functional turf to their commercial, industrial, and institutional customers. The emergency regulation makes violations of the ban an infraction: any entity that is already authorized to enforce infractions, such as a water supplier or local government, may choose to enforce violations of the regulation.
In addition, anyone may report water waste, including irrigation of non-functional turf on a commercial, industrial, or institutional property, to the Board at SaveWater.CA.Gov.
The Board may use its enforcement authority to respond to violations of the regulation. 13)What actions may a water supplier or local government (or any entity already authorized to enforce infractions) take to enforce violations of the regulation? What actions may the Board take? Local or Board enforcement may include warning letters, conservation orders, and fines (up to $500 per day). The Board also encourages agencies to provide additional assistance to disadvantaged communities and translate conservation announcements and materials into the languages spoken at properties in commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.
14) Where can I report water waste violations?
You can report water waste violations online at SaveWater.CA.Gov. These reports are sent to local water suppliers and the Board. The website allows you to upload photos, which helps with enforcement decision-making.
Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) & HOA Residents
15) Does this regulation apply to HOAs?
Yes, but only to non-functional turf on property the homeowners’ association (HOA) owns, not residences. While an individual’s property is considered residential, property owned and maintained by an HOA is considered the same as landscapes owned and maintained by commercial or institutional entities. This means that the regulation does not prevent homeowners from irrigating turf; it prohibits the irrigation of non-functional turf (with potable water) on property an HOA owns. However, the regulation does not ban the irrigation of turf used for recreation or community activities. 16) Who decides if turf is functional?
An HOA should review areas of turf that it maintains, consult with residents, and determine whether the turf is functional or not. Water suppliers may defer to HOAs’ determinations that specific areas of turf are used for recreation or community events.
However, water suppliers also retain the authority to enforce the irrigation ban if there is a documented violation.
3 304
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
17) Can my HOA stop me from conserving water?
No. Homeowners may remove their lawns and replace them with water-wise plants. If you install water-efficient landscaping during the drought, your HOA cannot prevent you from maintaining it or require you to remove it when there is no longer a drought state of emergency. Additionally, your HOA cannot impose a fine or assessment for reducing or eliminating the watering of vegetation or lawns during a drought state of emergency, nor can it prohibit, or include conditions that have the effect of prohibiting, the use of low water-using plants as a group or as a replacement of existing turf. For more information and practical tips for making your yard more water-wise, visit SaveOurWater.com. 18)Are apartment buildings considered part of the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors?
Most apartment buildings are part of the residential sector and therefore not subject to the ban on irrigation of non-functional turf. However, apartment buildings may also include commercial facilities, such as ground floor businesses or other commercial operations on site, in the same manner as HOAs (see above). Apartment building owners and managers should check with their water supplier to see whether their building or complex may be considered, in part, commercial, industrial, or institutional and would therefore have some landscaped areas subject to the same rules (and exclusions) as similarly situated landscaped areas in HOAs.
Water Shortage Response Actions
19)Where are instructions for suppliers to submit preliminary annual supply and demand assessments?
Annual supply and demand assessments should be submitted to the Department of Water Resources. Instructions for submitting this information can be found on the Department of Water Resources website.
20)By when must urban water suppliers that have not yet implemented Level 2 water shortage response actions do so? Per the regulation, urban water suppliers must implement Level 2 demand reduction actions by June 10, 2022.
21) What are Level 2 water shortage response actions?
For most urban water suppliers, water shortage responses have been adopted in the supplier’s water shortage contingency plan and include actions intended to respond to a water shortage of 10 to 20 percent. Examples of Level 2 actions include rebate programs, drought rate structures, expanding information campaigns, and restrictions on outdoor irrigation days and times.
22) Are drought rate structures required?
Water suppliers are required to either implement drought pricing or enact a water waste ordinance (see Water Code sections 365-367). When implementing drought pricing, 4 305

water suppliers should design rates or surcharges to incentivize conservation by high- use customers. Information on conservation pricing is available on the Board’s website. 23)If a water supplier has adequate supply according to its supply and demand assessment, why is it required to implement Level 2 demand reduction actions?
The severity of this new normal makes it imperative that all Californians save water in every way possible. The drought emergency is statewide, and conservation is important to extend supplies so that more water is left for the future and for the environment. All water suppliers can support California’s water resilience through additional conservation. See Question #27 for clarification on which water suppliers may take alternative compliance actions.
24)Are water suppliers required to implement all demand reduction actions in Level 2 of their plan?
Yes, water suppliers are required to implement all of their Level 2 demand reduction actions. However, they do not have to implement new residential connection moratoria if that is one of their Level 2 actions. See Question #27 for clarification on which water suppliers may take alternative compliance actions.
25)Are water suppliers required to implement Level 2 actions that do not reduce the demand for water?
Supply augmentation actions identified in Level 2 of a supplier’s water shortage contingency plan are not required by this regulation; only Level 2 demand reduction actions are required.
26)What if an urban water supplier has not defined Level 2 water shortage response actions?
If an urban water supplier has not already complied with the preexisting requirement to submit a water shortage contingency plan to the Department of Water Resources, then, by July 10, 2022, they are required to implement the minimum demand reduction actions listed in the regulation: (1) a public information and outreach campaign, (2) a weekly irrigation schedule, and (3) bans on water uses as prohibited in the Board’s January 2022 emergency regulation. For more details, see the regulation on the Water Conservation Emergency Regulations webpage. These actions were adopted after considering suggestions from the Department of Water Resources and public comment. 27) Which suppliers may take alternative compliance actions? Water suppliers may elect to implement the minimum actions required of suppliers that have not yet submitted water shortage contingency plans instead of all their Level 2 demand reduction actions if they meet the following criteria: (1) their annual water supply and demand assessment demonstrates an ability to maintain reliable supply until September 30, 2023; (2) they do not rely on, for any part of their supply, the Colorado River, State Water Project, or Central Valley Project, and no more than 10 percent of 5 306
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.
their supply comes from critically overdrafted groundwater basins as designated by the Department of Water Resources; and (3) their average number of gallons of water used per person, per day by residential customers for the year 2020 is below 55 gallons, as reported to the Board in the Electronic Annual Report.
28)Does the regulation require urban water suppliers to implement Level 3 actions?
No, but Governor Newsom has encouraged all urban water suppliers to implement stronger actions that would respond to water shortages of up to 30 percent (Level 3 actions).
Other Information
29)Am I subject to both this new regulation and the one adopted in January 2022 that prohibits certain wasteful water-use practices? Yes. Both regulations are currently in effect. (The earlier emergency regulation adopted in January 2022 will remain in effect until January 18, 2023, unless the Board acts to end, modify, or readopt it before then). This means that turf irrigation that is not prohibited must still be done in a manner that does not cause water to flow onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures.
30)How is the Board advancing drought resilience and water conservation for the long-term?
Among other ongoing activities related to water rights and water quality, the Board is working on regulations to Make Conservation a California Way of Life, including adopting long-term standards for the efficient use of water and water loss performance standards for urban retail water suppliers. The Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) program supports permanent and sustainable drinking water solutions that ensure all Californians have access to safe, affordable, and reliable drinking water.
