PHOTO AND FILM SHOOTS
The City of Santa Barbara offers one-stop photo and film/video permitting with Parks and Recreation as the lead department accepting applications, collecting fees, issuing the permits, and coordinating as many internal logistics among City departments such as Police, Fire, Public Works and Waterfront as possible for administrative convenience.
Fees for photo and film/video shoots include both permit and “facility use” fees. Permit fees apply to all photo and film/video shoots. If you plan to shoot in a City park, beach, Stearns Wharf or the Harbor, a facility use fee is charged, in addition to the permit fee. Fee rates depend on the location where photography or filming occurs. See the applicable Facility Use Fee charts below.
In situations where City personnel may be required to be present during the shoot, a fee for staff will be charged. See the Staff and Miscellaneous section below for further information.

Although specific uses may vary slightly within a designated category, the description is intended to provide a guide for categorizing shoots properly. The Parks and Recreation Director reserves the right to determine fees outside of the following chart for certain shoots, characterized by the unique or untypical location, scope, size or duration of the shoot, and/or impact to public parkland as a result of the use.

2.3 USER CLASSIFICATIONS
For the purposes of assessing metered water charges provided for below, user classifications shall be determined and corrected by Staff, using the categories below. Any meter serving multiple uses shall be classified based on the dominant use.
2.3.1 Residential Single Family
Applicable to all meters serving one detached dwelling unit that is not an accessory dwelling unit.
2.3.2 Multifamily 1-4 Units
Applicable to all meters serving two to four dwelling units, all meters serving one attached dwelling unit, and all meters serving only an accessory dwelling unit.
2.3.3 Multifamily Over 4 Units
Applicable to all meters serving five or more dwelling units.
2.3.4 Commercial
Applicable, without regard to meter size, to all accounts serving mercantile buildings, motels, and other short term lodging establishments, office buildings, institutional buildings, schools, churches, and other commercial establishments. Also applicable to accounts solely serving common areas on multifamily or mixed use properties including but not limited to communal laundry rooms.
2.3.5 Industrial
Applicable to all meters serving laundries (other than self-service laundries), manufacturing facilities, and other industrial facilities.
2.3.6 Irrigation-Potable
Applicable to meters limited to outdoor water use and subclassified as provided in subsections 2.3.6.1 through 2.3.6.4 below. All meters under this classification shall be subject to interruption upon declaration of a Stage Three Drought Condition. There shall be no connection between a meter served under this classification and any dwelling or commercial or industrial structure.
The first tier of all irrigation accounts shall be calculated using the following formula: Monthly Water Budget = (ETo)(.62/748)((PF x HA)/IE))
Where
ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (weather factor)
0.62/748 = Conversion factor (inches to HCF)
PF = Plant factor
HA =Square footage of irrigated area(s)
IE = Irrigation efficiency (80%)
The Monthly Water Budget shall be determined using real-time monthly ETo data from a local weather station, plant factors that relate plant type water use needs to the ETo, and irrigated area by plant type.
Irrigation system efficiency is set at a constant value of 80% for all account types.
Monthly Water Budgets shall be based on irrigated area only. Accounts shall be subject to mandatory ground-truthing measurement at Staff discretion to verify measurement accuracy of irrigated areas and plant types. If ground-truthing measurements are not completed within two months after initial contact due to lack of customer response, service may be subject to suspension until irrigated landscaped areas are verified in the field.
2.3.6.1 Irrigation-Agriculture
Applicable only to Potable Irrigation meters that serve bona fide commercial agricultural enterprises, including nurseries. A bona fide commercial agricultural enterprise is one that grows and sells one or more type of agricultural or horticultural products, for the purpose of producing income from the sale of these products. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this sub-classification shall be based on the square footage of the commercial crop area that is planted and irrigated as part of the enterprise. As a condition of the right to receive Irrigation-Agriculture service, the Director may require an Account holder to submit to the Director any documentary or other evidence necessary to establish to a reasonable degree of certainty that the property served by the meter is being used to conduct a bona fide commercial agricultural enterprise as defined above. Such evidence may include tax returns, bills of sale, or similar documents.
PFc = 75%
HAc = total crop irrigated area (square feet)
If the crop is a tree species the crop irrigated area is the number of irrigated trees multiplied by the average tree area. The average tree area is the area of a circle with a diameter equal to the average diameter of the drip line of the relevant species. An alternate method to calculate the irrigated area may be used as approved by the Director.
2.3.6.2 Irrigation-Recreation
Applicable only to Potable Irrigation meters that serve areas used primarily for passive or active recreational purposes, including parks, playgrounds, golf courses, school yards, and publicly owned open spaces and landscaped areas. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this sub-classification shall be based on the square footage of the irrigated area served by the meter.
HAt = total irrigated turf area (square feet)
Turf PFt = 80%
HAs = total irrigated shrub area (square feet)
Shrub PFs = 30%
2.3.6.3 Irrigation-Urban (Residential / Commercial):
Applicable to Potable Irrigation meters serving properties that are primarily residential in use or are zoned for residential use or commercial, industrial, or institutional in use. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this subclassification shall be based on the square footage of the irrigated area served by the meter.
HAt = total irrigated turf area (square feet)
For Residential Irrigation, HAt cannot exceed 20% of total irrigated area. If measurements are greater than 20%, the remainder square footage will be assigned to the HAs.
PFt = turf plant factor = 80%.
HAs = total irrigated shrub area (square feet)
For Commercial Irrigation, 100% of total irrigated area is considered HAs, unless a permitted exception of Landscape Design Standards has been approved.
PFs = shrub plant factor = 30%.
Plant Factor percentage allotments reflect the requirements of the City’s Landscape Design Standards for Water Conservation per SBMC 22.80.
2.3.6.4 Bird Refuge
Upon finding that there are adequate water resources available to allow such use, the Director may also authorize the sale of up to a total of 21,780 HCF (50 acre feet) per year at the first block recreation rate for use in refilling the Andre Clark Bird Refuge.
2.3.7 Recycled Water
Applicable to all meters providing recycled water
2.3.8 State Institutional
Applicable to customers that are State agencies located in the unincorporated area of the County of Santa Barbara
2.4 METERED WATER CHARGES
In addition to all other charges imposed by Chapter 14.08 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, including but not limited to the monthly service charges set forth in subsection 2.1 above, water use shall be charged according to the following block rates for those user classifications defined in subsection 2.3 above. Usage shall be measured in units of 100 cubic feet (HCF).
The allocation of the City’s six water sources to customer classes and tiers is based on priority level. Each tier is charged the weighted average cost of water based on the allocated sources. The highest priority customer tiers receive the least expensive sources of water, limited to that tier’s percentage of each priorities’ total demand times the water source (or remaining water source remaining from a higher priority).
1. Tier 1 Agriculture. The highest priority use is allocated to tier 1 agriculture (Ag) for efficient agricultural purposes.
2. Tier 1 Residential Single Family (SFR)/Tier 1 Residential Multi-family (MFR)/Tier 1 Recreation (Rec) for essential health and safety purposes and efficient irrigation of parks and public spaces.
3. Tier 1 Commercial/Industrial for efficient use of commercial and industrial purposes.
4. Tier 2 Residential SFR/MFR and Tier 1 irrigation for efficient irrigation needs for residential/commercial with dedicated irrigation meters.
5. Tier 2 Ag/Tier 2 Rec/Tier 3 Residential/Tier 2 Irrigation for residential and commercial dedicated irrigation meters/ Tier 2 Commercial or Industrial for inefficient use for agricultural, recreation, residential, commercial, or industrial purposes

3 Water Service Policies and Miscellaneous Fees
3.1 FAILURE TO CONNECT TO RECYCLED WATER SYSTEM
Where the Director has determined that use of recycled water is feasible at and on a particular property and has notified the account holder for the meter serving such property of this fact as described in Section 14.23.030 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, and thereafter the user has failed to substitute recycled water use for potable water use, the charge for provision of potable water use shall be double the otherwise applicable charge for metered water.
3.2 GRANTING OF ADJUSTMENTS TO EXTRAORDINARY WATERCHARGES Upon an account holder's application that is 1) received within 45 days of a relevant billing date, 2) submitted on a form provided by the Finance Director, and 3) supported by detailed written documentation, the Finance Director, or a designee of the Finance Director, shall have the authority to make adjustments to extraordinary water charges in the event of hidden leaks, undetected line breaks, unexplained usage of at least five times the average use, or circumstances that are demonstrated to be beyond the reasonable control of the account holder. Such adjustments shall be made in accordance with written guidelines reviewed by the Water Commission and approved by the Finance Director and Public Works Director. However, such adjustments shall in no case result in a cost per HCF that is less than the lowest unit rate for residential customers located within the City limits. The decision of the Finance Director, or said designee, regarding any such adjustment shall be final and not subject to further appeal. Adjustments shall not be allowed for ordinary water use, such as filling of swimming pools, establishment of landscaping, or similar voluntary or customary uses of water. The Finance Director shall not approve an adjustment within five years of the date of a prior adjustment for the same account unless the Director rescinds the prior adjustment at the request of the account holder.
3.3 WATER CONSUMPTION ESTIMATES
If an accurate meter reading is not obtained for any reason, including but not limited to, inability to access the meter and/or meter failure, the water consumption for the time period where the water meter read is not available may be estimated. If access is the issue, then estimation may only occur after two separate attempts within one reading cycle to gain access. If meter failure is the issue, then the water consumption will not be estimated for more than 90 days, unless plumbing on the customer side must be addressed prior to meter replacement or with mutual consent of the City and the customer.
City staff will utilize estimating functionality within the billing system to estimate use based on the six billing periods that most closely correspond to the time frame from the prior calendar year. The calculated daily average is multiplied by the number of days in the reading period where the meter read is not available to determine an estimated consumption for the reading period. Should there not be sufficient usage history on the customer’s account, the last actual meter read will be used.
Once the water meter is repaired or replaced, if the customer’s water consumption is found to be significantly lower than the estimated consumption calculation after three full months of meter reads on the new meter, the customer may request an evaluation of the estimated consumption calculation and consideration of a billing adjustment.

2. REGULATIONS REGARDING ASSESSMENT OF CAPACITY CHARGES The following regulations shall apply to the assessment of water and wastewater capacity charges:
3 A. The term “multi-family residential dwelling unit” as used herein shall mean any attached dwelling unit, including attached apartments, condominiums, and secondary dwelling units.
B. Water and wastewater capacity charges shall not apply to:
1. Water system connections for public fire hydrants, private fire hydrants, and private fire lines;and
2. Common area meters to serve irrigation on multi-family residential properties.
C. A wastewater capacity charge shall not apply to a water meter that is classified as “Irrigation” in the City billingsystem.
D. Water and wastewater capacity charges shall not apply to a connection to the City’s recycled water distribution system to the extent that the connection offsets existing potable water capacity.
E. In the case of an application for a water connection to serve a parcel where connections already exist, credit shall be given for existing connections such that the water capacity charges shall be based on the net increase in metered capacity. In the case of an application for a Wastewater connection to serve a parcel where connections already exist, capacity charges shall be based on the net increase in meter capacity for non-residential meters, or in the case of residential meters, the net increase in the number of dwelling units. The credit shall only be valid when the existing connections are abandoned within six months of the installation of new services.
F. There shall be no capacity charge assessed for the installation of a meter to serve a legally existing residential dwelling unit that is already being legally served by another City water meter when such installation is done for the purpose of providing separate metering to such dwelling unit.
G. There shall be no capacity charge assessed for the installation of a 5/8” irrigation meter to serve existing irrigated landscaping that is already being legally served by another City water meter when such installation is done for the purpose of providing separate metering of indoor uses and irrigation. Water use history for the property must show patterns of irrigation watering for at least two years. The propertymaybe subject to a site inspection by City staff to verify the landscaping is existing and irrigated. Should a customer request an irrigation meter size larger than 5/8”, the capacity charge will be calculated at the applicable fee based on the meter size as provided in Section 1, less the applicable fee for a 5/8” meter.
All other applicable fees, charges, and costs shall apply.
H. A reduction in meter size may be approved by the Public Works Director in accordance with applicable resolutions; however, there shall be no refund of capacity charges upon such reduction.
4 I. When a customer voluntarily downsizes a meter, the original meter capacity will be reserved for the service connection for 12 months. If, before 12 months has elapsed from the time of the smaller meter being installed, the customer requests the original meter size to be re-installed at the same service connection, no capacity charge shall apply. If more than 12 months has elapsed, the customer will be charged the difference in capacity charge between the meter size currently installed and the size of the meter to be installed.
J. In cases where an applicant asserts that the water or wastewater capacity charge imposed under this Resolution exceeds the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the charge is imposed, or does not reasonably reflect the proportionate benefit of existing public facilities using the methods contained herein, an applicant may appeal the determination of the capacity charge to the Public Works Director, and may subsequently appeal the Public Works Director’s Decision to the City Council, for determination of a different capacity charge.
Appeals under this section, shall be made as follows:
1. Prior to installation of water meters, the applicant shall submit a written notice of appeal to the Public Works Director. The notice of appeal shall set forth the grounds upon which the appeal is based, a proposed alternate capacity charge calculation, and all relevant issues, facts, information, and analysis necessary to substantiate the appeal.
2. Within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the written notice of appeal, the Public Works Director shall provide a written decision on the appeal to the applicant.
3. The Public Works Director shall have the authority to continue the determination on the appeal beyond twenty-one (21) days to request additional information from the applicant, and consider new issues and facts raised by the applicant.
4. The applicant may appeal the decision of the Public Works Director to the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the date of the Public Works Director’s Decision.
The notice of appeal shall set forth in detail the grounds upon which the appeal is based and provide all supplemental documents upon which the applicant intends to reply. The City Clerk shall require payment of a fee for such appeal as is provided by resolution of the City Council for the matter.
Prior to setting the appeal for hearing before the City Council, the Water Commission, at their soonest available meeting after the notice of appeal is filed with the City Clerk, shall consider the Public Works Director’s decision on the appeal and shall make a recommendation to City Council on the appeal. No new information, documents or evidence shall be filed or considered by the Water Commission.
5 5. Within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the recommendation from the Water Commission, the City Clerk shall set a date for hearing on the appeal before the CityCouncil.
6. At the time and place of the hearing, the City Council shall hear and receive any relevant information and document regarding the appeal.
The City Council may continue the hearing from time to time as may be required, or may grant or deny the appeal, in whole or in part.
7. The decision of the City Council shall be final on the day of the decision.
K. The Public Works Director is authorized to establish Administrative Guidelines to determine eligibility criteria to pay capacity charges previously established in lieu of capacity charges established herein for development projects that have achieved specific milestones in the development review process.
3. REGULATIONS REGARDING RESERVED CAPACITY CHARGES FOR
INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
A. As system capacity continues to be reserved for inactive accounts even when connections are not in use, accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months shall be subject to reserved capacity charges before service can be reinstated. Charges shall be determined by the following formulas:
1. WATER
The current monthly service charge multiplied by the number of months that have passed since the expiration of the 6-month grace period.
2. WASTEWATER
For Residential Accounts: The current monthly basic charge per dwelling unit, multiplied by the number of dwelling units on the account, multiplied by the number of months that have passed since the expiration of the 6- month grace period.
For Commercial Class 1-4 Accounts: The minimum monthly service charge based on meter size, multiplied by the number of months that have passed since the expiration of the 6-month grace period.
3. The water monthly service charge and wastewater minimum monthly service charge shall be based on the meter size at the time of account termination.
B. If the above calculation exceeds the current capacity charge for the meter size in question, the charge is capped at the current capacity charge amount.
Accounts that are inactive due to catastrophic circumstances, such as fire or other natural disasters, may apply for a waiver of reserved capacity charges that have accrued within 5 years of the catastrophic circumstance, subject to approval by the Public Works Director. The Public Works Director may adopt an administrative policy for implementation of this section. to

Visiting berths are intended to accommodate transient vessels. There shall be a charge for visiting vessels provided in this resolution. Except as specially designated in Section 6 below, or expressly allowed by the Waterfront Director, visitor berths are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis upon the vessel’s arrival at the harbor.
1. The base rate for visiting vessels less than 65’ length overall, other than those actively and solely engaged in commercial fishing, shall be $1.75 per linear overall foot per day plus the Electricity Rate for the first 14 cumulative nights in the Harbor.
2. The base rate for visiting vessels 65’ or longer, other than those actively and solely engaged in commercial fishing, shall be $2.50 per linear overall foot per night plus the Electricity Rate for the first 14 cumulative nights in the Harbor.
3. Vessels described in C.1 and C.2 that remain in the Harbor for a period of more than 14 cumulative nights shall be required to pay two times the base rate plus the Electricity Rate. The Harbormaster may, however, waive such increase in the rate for a period in excess of the 14 cumulative night period in the event of prolonged storms, natural disaster, or on satisfactory proof of a need for additional time to effect emergency repairs. A new 14 night cumulative period at the base rate calculated in accordance with C.1 or C.2, shall start to run if the vessel returns to the Harbor after being absent from the Harbor for 5 or more consecutive nights.
4. The base rate for visiting commercial fishing vessels actively and solely engaged in commercial fishing shall be $1.00 per linear overall foot per night plus the Electricity Rate.
No nights out will be required to remain at the base rate when proof in advance of slip assignment in the form of two California Department of Fish and Wildlife commercial fish landing receipts within the previous two weeks are shown. If such proof is not provided, the vessel will not be considered to actively fishing and will be subject to fees described in C.1, C.2, and C.3.
5. The maximum allowable stay for visiting boats other than actively fishing commercial vessels is 28 cumulative nights. A vessel must vacate the Harbor for 5 or more consecutive nights before again being eligible for visitor boat status. Any person violating this provision, without express permission of the Waterfront Director or his or her designee, shall pay a penalty of:
a. $100 per night for nights exceeding the maximum allowable stay for a vessel whose overall length is 35 feet or less.
b. $150 per night for nights exceeding the maximum allowable stay for a vessel whose overall length is greater than 35 feet and up to 50 feet. c. $200 per night for nights exceeding the maximum allowable stay for a vessel whose overall length is greater than 50 feet and up to 65 feet. d. $250 per night for nights exceeding the maximum allowable stay for a vessel whose overall length exceeds 65 feet.
6. Reservations.
a. Reservations will be accepted for vessels exceeding 65’ in length whose beam does not exceed 30’ and whose draft does not exceed 10’. Reservations are subject to approval and may be denied.
i. Rates and length of stay are limited as stated in Section C above for individual visiting vessels.
ii. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis and may be requested no more than 60 days in advance by directly contacting the Waterfront Department.
iii. A reservation fee equivalent to one night’s visitor fee for the vessel will be charged at time of reservation.
iv. Slip reservations must be confirmed and paid in full at least one week prior to reservation date.
v. Cancellation after full fees have been paid will result in credit for a future visit equal to the number of nights cancelled, provided cancellation occurs more than 48 hours prior to scheduled reservation. All rules outlined in 6.a.i through
6.a.vii, inclusive, shall apply to the future visit, if it requires a reservation. vi. Cancellations made within 48 hours of a scheduled reservation will result in credit for a future visit equal to the number of nights cancelled less the reservation fee equivalent to one night’s visitor fee. All rules outlined in 6.a.i through 6.a.vii, inclusive, shall apply to the future visit, if it requires a reservation.
vii. No credit or refund will be given for a no-show.
b. Group reservations for Yacht Club-sponsored cruises and races. i. A group reservation may be made for no fewer than six vessels, a minimum of 30 days in advance but no more than six months in advance. ii. Berthing fees will be based on standard visitor-boat rates and must be paid in full by the group’s chairperson at least two weeks prior to reservation date. iii. Individual or late entries will not be accepted for reservation, but will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis like all other visitor boats. iv. Cancellation after full fees have been paid will result in credit for a future visit commensurate with number of nights cancelled, provided cancellation occurs more than 48 hours prior to scheduled reservation. v. No credit will be afforded for cancellations made within 48 hours of scheduled reservation.
7. For the purpose of this subsection, a night shall be deemed to be a 24 hour period commencing at twelve noon. All fees are due and payable in advance. No portion of the transient dock fees is refundable. Payment of visiting fees entitles a visiting vessel to utilize a slip or mooring for the paid-up period.
D. CHARGES FOR DELINQUENT PAYMENT
1. A charge in the amount of $50 per month shall be added to monthly slip fees that are delinquent.
2. A charge in the amount of $15 per day shall be added to visitor slip fees for every day such fees are delinquent.
3. A charge equal to double the bill incurred plus $10 shall be assessed to any visitor who leaves a slip or mooring, or added to dockage and/or wharfage fees if any person leaves a slip or mooring, unless forced to do so by weather or fire, without first paying the fees due (unless such vessel is upon the credit dockage list) except by permission of the Waterfront Director or his/her designee.

PHOTO AND FILM SHOOTS
The City of Santa Barbara offers one-stop photo and film/video permitting with Parks and Recreation as the lead department accepting applications, collecting fees, issuing the permits, and coordinating as many internal logistics among City departments such as Police, Fire, Public Works and Waterfront as possible for administrative convenience.
Fees for photo and film/video shoots include both permit and “facility use” fees. Permit fees apply to all photo and film/video shoots. If you plan to shoot in a City park, beach, Stearns Wharf or the Harbor, a facility use fee is charged, in addition to the permit fee. Fee rates depend on the location where photography or filming occurs. See the applicable Facility Use Fee charts below.
In situations where City personnel may be required to be present during the shoot, a fee for staff will be charged. See the Staff and Miscellaneous section below for further information. **PERMIT FEES**

Although specific uses may vary slightly within a designated category, the description is intended to provide a guide for categorizing shoots properly. The Parks and Recreation Director reserves the right to determine fees outside of the following chart for certain shoots, characterized by the unique or untypical location, scope, size or duration of the shoot, and/or impact to public parkland as a result of the use.

2.3 USER CLASSIFICATIONS
For the purposes of assessing metered water charges provided for below, user classifications shall be determined and corrected by Staff, using the categories below. Any meter serving multiple uses shall be classified based on the dominant use.
2.3.1 Residential Single Family
Applicable to all meters serving one detached dwelling unit that is not an accessory dwelling unit.
2.3.2 Multifamily 1-4 Units
Applicable to all meters serving two to four dwelling units, all meters serving one attached dwelling unit, and all meters serving only an accessory dwelling unit.
2.3.3 Multifamily Over 4 Units
Applicable to all meters serving five or more dwelling units.
2.3.4 Commercial
Applicable, without regard to meter size, to all accounts serving mercantile buildings, motels, and other short term lodging establishments, office buildings, institutional buildings, schools, churches, and other commercial establishments. Also applicable to accounts solely serving common areas on multifamily or mixed use properties including but not limited to communal laundry rooms.
2.3.5 Industrial
Applicable to all meters serving laundries (other than self-service laundries), manufacturing facilities, and other industrial facilities.
2.3.6 Irrigation-Potable
Applicable to meters limited to outdoor water use and subclassified as provided in subsections 2.3.6.1 through 2.3.6.4 below. All meters under this classification shall be subject to interruption upon declaration of a Stage Three Drought Condition. There shall be no connection between a meter served under this classification and any dwelling or commercial or industrial structure.
The first tier of all irrigation accounts shall be calculated using the following formula: Monthly Water Budget = (ETo)(.62/748)((PF x HA)/IE))
Where
ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (weather factor)
0.62/748 = Conversion factor (inches to HCF)
PF = Plant factor
HA =Square footage of irrigated area(s)
IE = Irrigation efficiency (80%)
The Monthly Water Budget shall be determined using real-time monthly ETo data from a local weather station, plant factors that relate plant type water use needs to the ETo, and irrigated area by plant type.
Irrigation system efficiency is set at a constant value of 80% for all account types.
Monthly Water Budgets shall be based on irrigated area only. Accounts shall be subject to mandatory ground-truthing measurement at Staff discretion to verify measurement accuracy of irrigated areas and plant types. If ground-truthing measurements are not completed within two months after initial contact due to lack of customer response, service may be subject to suspension until irrigated landscaped areas are verified in the field.
2.3.6.1 Irrigation-Agriculture
Applicable only to Potable Irrigation meters that serve bona fide commercial agricultural enterprises, including nurseries. A bona fide commercial agricultural enterprise is one that grows and sells one or more type of agricultural or horticultural products, for the purpose of producing income from the sale of these products. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this sub-classification shall be based on the square footage of the commercial crop area that is planted and irrigated as part of the enterprise. As a condition of the right to receive Irrigation-Agriculture service, the Director may require an Account holder to submit to the Director any documentary or other evidence necessary to establish to a reasonable degree of certainty that the property served by the meter is being used to conduct a bona fide commercial agricultural enterprise as defined above. Such evidence may include tax returns, bills of sale, or similar documents.
PFc = 75%
HAc = total crop irrigated area (square feet)
If the crop is a tree species the crop irrigated area is the number of irrigated trees multiplied by the average tree area. The average tree area is the area of a circle with a diameter equal to the average diameter of the drip line of the relevant species. An alternate method to calculate the irrigated area may be used as approved by the Director.
2.3.6.2 Irrigation-Recreation
Applicable only to Potable Irrigation meters that serve areas used primarily for passive or active recreational purposes, including parks, playgrounds, golf courses, school yards, and publicly owned open spaces and landscaped areas. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this sub-classification shall be based on the square footage of the irrigated area served by the meter.
HAt = total irrigated turf area (square feet)
Turf PFt = 80%
HAs = total irrigated shrub area (square feet)
Shrub PFs = 30%
2.3.6.3 Irrigation-Urban (Residential / Commercial):
Applicable to Potable Irrigation meters serving properties that are primarily residential in use or are zoned for residential use or commercial, industrial, or institutional in use. The amount of water made available in the first tier of metered water usage under this subclassification shall be based on the square footage of the irrigated area served by the meter.
HAt = total irrigated turf area (square feet)
For Residential Irrigation, HAt cannot exceed 20% of total irrigated area. If measurements are greater than 20%, the remainder square footage will be assigned to the HAs.
PFt = turf plant factor = 80%.
HAs = total irrigated shrub area (square feet)
For Commercial Irrigation, 100% of total irrigated area is considered HAs, unless a permitted exception of Landscape Design Standards has been approved.
PFs = shrub plant factor = 30%.
Plant Factor percentage allotments reflect the requirements of the City’s Landscape Design Standards for Water Conservation per SBMC 22.80.
2.3.6.4 Bird Refuge
Upon finding that there are adequate water resources available to allow such use, the Director may also authorize the sale of up to a total of 21,780 HCF (50 acre feet) per year at the first block recreation rate for use in refilling the Andre Clark Bird Refuge.
2.3.7 Recycled Water
Applicable to all meters providing recycled water
2.3.8 State Institutional
Applicable to customers that are State agencies located in the unincorporated area of the County of Santa Barbara
2.4 METERED WATER CHARGES
In addition to all other charges imposed by Chapter 14.08 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, including but not limited to the monthly service charges set forth in subsection 2.1 above, water use shall be charged according to the following block rates for those user classifications defined in subsection 2.3 above. Usage shall be measured in units of 100 cubic feet (HCF).
The allocation of the City’s six water sources to customer classes and tiers is based on priority level. Each tier is charged the weighted average cost of water based on the allocated sources. The highest priority customer tiers receive the least expensive sources of water, limited to that tier’s percentage of each priorities’ total demand times the water source (or remaining water source remaining from a higher priority).
1. Tier 1 Agriculture. The highest priority use is allocated to tier 1 agriculture (Ag) for efficient agricultural purposes.
2. Tier 1 Residential Single Family (SFR)/Tier 1 Residential Multi-family (MFR)/Tier 1 Recreation (Rec) for essential health and safety purposes and efficient irrigation of parks and public spaces.
3. Tier 1 Commercial/Industrial for efficient use of commercial and industrial purposes.
4. Tier 2 Residential SFR/MFR and Tier 1 irrigation for efficient irrigation needs for residential/commercial with dedicated irrigation meters.
5. Tier 2 Ag/Tier 2 Rec/Tier 3 Residential/Tier 2 Irrigation for residential and commercial dedicated irrigation meters/ Tier 2 Commercial or Industrial for inefficient use for agricultural, recreation, residential, commercial, or industrial purposes

3 Water Service Policies and Miscellaneous Fees
3.1 FAILURE TO CONNECT TO RECYCLED WATER SYSTEM
Where the Director has determined that use of recycled water is feasible at and on a particular property and has notified the account holder for the meter serving such property of this fact as described in Section 14.23.030 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, and thereafter the user has failed to substitute recycled water use for potable water use, the charge for provision of potable water use shall be double the otherwise applicable charge for metered water.
3.2 GRANTING OF ADJUSTMENTS TO EXTRAORDINARY WATERCHARGES Upon an account holder's application that is 1) received within 45 days of a relevant billing date, 2) submitted on a form provided by the Finance Director, and 3) supported by detailed written documentation, the Finance Director, or a designee of the Finance Director, shall have the authority to make adjustments to extraordinary water charges in the event of hidden leaks, undetected line breaks, unexplained usage of at least five times the average use, or circumstances that are demonstrated to be beyond the reasonable control of the account holder. Such adjustments shall be made in accordance with written guidelines reviewed by the Water Commission and approved by the Finance Director and Public Works Director. However, such adjustments shall in no case result in a cost per HCF that is less than the lowest unit rate for residential customers located within the City limits. The decision of the Finance Director, or said designee, regarding any such adjustment shall be final and not subject to further appeal. Adjustments shall not be allowed for ordinary water use, such as filling of swimming pools, establishment of landscaping, or similar voluntary or customary uses of water. The Finance Director shall not approve an adjustment within five years of the date of a prior adjustment for the same account unless the Director rescinds the prior adjustment at the request of the account holder.
3.3 WATER CONSUMPTION ESTIMATES
If an accurate meter reading is not obtained for any reason, including but not limited to, inability to access the meter and/or meter failure, the water consumption for the time period where the water meter read is not available may be estimated. If access is the issue, then estimation may only occur after two separate attempts within one reading cycle to gain access. If meter failure is the issue, then the water consumption will not be estimated for more than 90 days, unless plumbing on the customer side must be addressed prior to meter replacement or with mutual consent of the City and the customer.
City staff will utilize estimating functionality within the billing system to estimate use based on the six billing periods that most closely correspond to the time frame from the prior calendar year. The calculated daily average is multiplied by the number of days in the reading period where the meter read is not available to determine an estimated consumption for the reading period. Should there not be sufficient usage history on the customer’s account, the last actual meter read will be used.
Once the water meter is repaired or replaced, if the customer’s water consumption is found to be significantly lower than the estimated consumption calculation after three full months of meter reads on the new meter, the customer may request an evaluation of the estimated consumption calculation and consideration of a billing adjustment.
3.4 MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES

2. REGULATIONS REGARDING ASSESSMENT OF CAPACITY CHARGES The following regulations shall apply to the assessment of water and wastewater capacity charges:
3 A. The term “multi-family residential dwelling unit” as used herein shall mean any attached dwelling unit, including attached apartments, condominiums, and secondary dwelling units.
B. Water and wastewater capacity charges shall not apply to:
1. Water system connections for public fire hydrants, private fire hydrants, and private fire lines;and
2. Common area meters to serve irrigation on multi-family residential properties.
C. A wastewater capacity charge shall not apply to a water meter that is classified as “Irrigation” in the City billingsystem.
D. Water and wastewater capacity charges shall not apply to a connection to the City’s recycled water distribution system to the extent that the connection offsets existing potable water capacity.
E. In the case of an application for a water connection to serve a parcel where connections already exist, credit shall be given for existing connections such that the water capacity charges shall be based on the net increase in metered capacity. In the case of an application for a Wastewater connection to serve a parcel where connections already exist, capacity charges shall be based on the net increase in meter capacity for non-residential meters, or in the case of residential meters, the net increase in the number of dwelling units. The credit shall only be valid when the existing connections are abandoned within six months of the installation of new services.
F. There shall be no capacity charge assessed for the installation of a meter to serve a legally existing residential dwelling unit that is already being legally served by another City water meter when such installation is done for the purpose of providing separate metering to such dwelling unit.
G. There shall be no capacity charge assessed for the installation of a 5/8” irrigation meter to serve existing irrigated landscaping that is already being legally served by another City water meter when such installation is done for the purpose of providing separate metering of indoor uses and irrigation. Water use history for the property must show patterns of irrigation watering for at least two years. The propertymaybe subject to a site inspection by City staff to verify the landscaping is existing and irrigated. Should a customer request an irrigation meter size larger than 5/8”, the capacity charge will be calculated at the applicable fee based on the meter size as provided in Section 1, less the applicable fee for a 5/8” meter.
All other applicable fees, charges, and costs shall apply.
H. A reduction in meter size may be approved by the Public Works Director in accordance with applicable resolutions; however, there shall be no refund of capacity charges upon such reduction.
4 I. When a customer voluntarily downsizes a meter, the original meter capacity will be reserved for the service connection for 12 months. If, before 12 months has elapsed from the time of the smaller meter being installed, the customer requests the original meter size to be re-installed at the same service connection, no capacity charge shall apply. If more than 12 months has elapsed, the customer will be charged the difference in capacity charge between the meter size currently installed and the size of the meter to be installed.
J. In cases where an applicant asserts that the water or wastewater capacity charge imposed under this Resolution exceeds the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the charge is imposed, or does not reasonably reflect the proportionate benefit of existing public facilities using the methods contained herein, an applicant may appeal the determination of the capacity charge to the Public Works Director, and may subsequently appeal the Public Works Director’s Decision to the City Council, for determination of a different capacity charge.
Appeals under this section, shall be made as follows:
1. Prior to installation of water meters, the applicant shall submit a written notice of appeal to the Public Works Director. The notice of appeal shall set forth the grounds upon which the appeal is based, a proposed alternate capacity charge calculation, and all relevant issues, facts, information, and analysis necessary to substantiate the appeal.
2. Within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the written notice of appeal, the Public Works Director shall provide a written decision on the appeal to the applicant.
3. The Public Works Director shall have the authority to continue the determination on the appeal beyond twenty-one (21) days to request additional information from the applicant, and consider new issues and facts raised by the applicant.
4. The applicant may appeal the decision of the Public Works Director to the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the date of the Public Works Director’s Decision.
The notice of appeal shall set forth in detail the grounds upon which the appeal is based and provide all supplemental documents upon which the applicant intends to reply. The City Clerk shall require payment of a fee for such appeal as is provided by resolution of the City Council for the matter.
Prior to setting the appeal for hearing before the City Council, the Water Commission, at their soonest available meeting after the notice of appeal is filed with the City Clerk, shall consider the Public Works Director’s decision on the appeal and shall make a recommendation to City Council on the appeal. No new information, documents or evidence shall be filed or considered by the Water Commission.
5 5. Within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the recommendation from the Water Commission, the City Clerk shall set a date for hearing on the appeal before the CityCouncil.
6. At the time and place of the hearing, the City Council shall hear and receive any relevant information and document regarding the appeal.
The City Council may continue the hearing from time to time as may be required, or may grant or deny the appeal, in whole or in part.
7. The decision of the City Council shall be final on the day of the decision.
K. The Public Works Director is authorized to establish Administrative Guidelines to determine eligibility criteria to pay capacity charges previously established in lieu of capacity charges established herein for development projects that have achieved specific milestones in the development review process.
3. REGULATIONS REGARDING RESERVED CAPACITY CHARGES FOR
INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
A. As system capacity continues to be reserved for inactive accounts even when connections are not in use, accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months shall be subject to reserved capacity charges before service can be reinstated. Charges shall be determined by the following formulas:
1. WATER
The current monthly service charge multiplied by the number of months that have passed since the expiration of the 6-month grace period.
2. WASTEWATER
For Residential Accounts: The current monthly basic charge per dwelling unit, multiplied by the number of dwelling units on the account, multiplied by the number of months that have passed since the expiration of the 6- month grace period.
