AND FACILITIES PROVIDED THEREFOR.

hereby added to the Temple City Municipal Code:
Section 5300. TITLE. These Sections shall be known
as the "City of Temple City Sewer Reconstruction Ordi-
nance," and may be cited as such.
Section 5301. PURPOSE. Most of the existing sewers
in the City were constructed years ago and were designed
to serve residential and agriculture properties. However,
due to the ever increasing population density within the
City, the erection of many multiamily dwelling units
and growth of the commercial and industrial areas, the
City Sewerage System is no adequate to accommo-
date the increased volume of sewage generated by such
developments. The purpose hereof is to establish a
means of providing adequate sewers required by develop-
ment in the City and to establish a charge to be coll-
ected from all the properties that propose to discharge,
to the public sewer, quantities of sewage in excess of
the quantity for which the existing sewerage system was
designed; and to establish a fund into which these
charges may be deposited and from which monies will be
available for the City Sewer- Reconstruction Program.
Section 5302. CITY.>shall mean that portion of the
State of California incorporated as the City of Temple
City and all areas subsequently annexed to the City of
Temple City.
Section 5303. CITY COUNCIL shall mean the City

Angeles, State of California.
Section 5304. CITY ENGINEER shall mean the City

agent or representative.
Section 5305. OWNER shall mean an individual
human being, a firm, partnership, corporation, organi-

cel of land in the City of Temple City.

or deed recorded in the office of the County Recorder,
County of Los Angeles, or shown as a separate parcel
on the lost equalized assessment roll which conforms
to the boundaries of such lot as shown upon such
recorded map, plot or deed or roll; provided, however,
that in the event any building or structure or intended
use covers more area than a lot as herein defined, the
term "lot" shall include all such pieces or parcels of
land upon which said building or structure or intended
use is wholly or partly .located, together with the
yards, courts, and other unoccupied spaces legally
required for the building or structure.
Section 5308. FLOOR AREA shall mean the area
included within the exterior walls of a building or
portion thereof, exclusive of open vent shafts and
courts.
Section 5309. PEAK FLOW shall mean the instan-

to the sewer and, for the purpose hereof, shall be as
_provided herein.
Section 5310. GENERAL PROVISIONS. No person shall,
within the City of Temple City, erect, construct, enlarge
or alter any building or structure or cause the same to
be done without first having complied with the provisions
hereof.
Section 5311. VALIDITY. If any provision hereof

Engineer shall enforce and administer all the provi-
sions hereof.
Section 5313. CAPACITY WITHIN THE CITY. The City
Engineer shall determine what capacity is necessary in
each public sewer to provide for the proper collection
of sewage in the City. In the event a lot in the City
is to undergo development or redevelopment, and the
anticipated sewage from the proposed use is found by
the City Engineer to exceed the capacity available in
the public sewer, the building permit for such develop-
ment or redevelopment shall not be issued until such
time as capacity in the public sewer is available or can
be made available before the building is occupied.
Section 5314. DETERMINATION OF CAPACITY. The
size and grade of each public sewer must be such as to
provide at all times sufficient capacity for peak flow
rates of discharge. In order to establish estimates of

sanitary sewage at peak flow, the owner or developer of
a building shall submit plans of intented construction
and such other information as the City Engineer may
require on printed forms provided for that purpose.

Ordinance No. 72 -355
All others shall be classified by the occupancy it
most nearly resembles as determined by the City Engineer
or as computed by the City Engineer in accordance with
the anticipated use.
The peak flow to the sanitary sewer for a building
containing mixed occupancies shall be determined by
adding the peak flow characteristics of the various
occupancies as set forth in the above table.
In the event that an area of occupancy, in use
prior to the enactment hereof, is to undergo structural
innovations and such innovations shall not increase the
peak flow as it existed from the lot immediately prior
to said date of enactment to the public sewer, the owner
shall submit to the City Engineer an affidavit or state-
ment _pursuant to Section 2015.5 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, in duplicate, verifying the actual occupancy
load prior to said date of enactment.
Section 5315. CHARGES. The applicant for a per-
mit to build in the City shall declare all information
necessary, as determined by the City Engineer, to comply
with the provisions hereof and shall pay, to the City
at the time of issuance of a building permit, a charge
based on the anticipated additional peak flow created
by the new construction, or change of use, at the rate
of $0.40 per gallon per day of additional peak flow
less any credit which might be allowed as provided
herein.
Section 5316. CREDITS FOR EXISTING CAPACITY. In
calculating the chargeable peak flow of sewage, each
lot within the City shall be given a credit of not less
than 600 gallons per day per 5000 square feet of lot
area. This credit shall not be applied more than once
to the same lot, except when the building on the lot has
been demolished.
Section 5317. CITY SEWER RECONSTRUCTION FUND. The
monies collected hereunder shall be deposited with the
City Treasurer, and credit to the City Sewer Reconstruc-
tion Fund.
Section 5318. USE OF CITY SEWER RECONSTRUCTION
FUND. Money deposited in the City Sewer Reconstruction
Fund as provided herein may be expended by the City
Council to accomplish any lawful purpose as provided
herein and as set forth in Section 5471 of the Health
and Safety Code of the State of California, or for such
other sewer purpose that the City Council may lawfully
authorize. All engineering costs, refunds as provided
herein, mileage, overhead, incidentals, and construction
costs necessarily incurred in the reconstruction of
sewers shall be charged to the Fund, to the extent
allowed by law.
