Imposition of stormwater service assessments

(a)

The stormwater service cost may be assessed against developed property located within the stormwater service area at a rate of assessment based upon the special benefit accruing to such property from the stormwater management service provided by the city, measured by the number of ESFIAs attributable to each parcel or classification of property.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the council specifically determines that any portion of the stormwater service area receives a distinct special benefit from any component of the stormwater management service that is materially different in kind or degree from the special benefit received by other portions of the stormwater service area, the stormwater service cost related to such component shall be assessed against the portion of the stormwater service area receiving the distinct special benefit.
