CITY COUNCIL
First Reading of Ordinance Amending Poway Municipal Code Section 5.02.080
of Chapter 5.02 (Business Certificates)
Senate Bill 205 ("SB 205"), effective January 1, 2020, requires the City to obtain certain information
from operators of regulated industries relating to stormwater when approving issuance or renewal of
a business certificate. The proposed Ordinance (Attachment A) would amend section 5.02.080 of the
Poway Municipal Code ("PMC") by adding subsection 5.02.080(A)(9) to reflect these requirements, to
ensure that the City collects and reviews all information required by law. The proposed Resolution
(Attachment B) would impose a fee of $28 to compensate the City for the costs incurred collecting and
reviewing such information.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council introduce the Ordinance for first reading by title only, waive
further reading, and schedule the adoption of the Ordinance for February 18, 2020, and approve the
Resolution.
Discussion:
In October 2019, SB 205 was approved by the California legislature. SB 205 adds new sections to the
Business and Professions Code as well as the Water Code relating to requirements for business
licenses, which are referred to in the City as business certificates. These sections require
businesses operating in regulated industries (i.e., industrial businesses) to, when applying for
a business certificate or business certificate renewal, demonstrate that the business is enrolled in
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) by providing specific
information within the application, including all primary Standard Industrial Classification Codes,
along with several other certification identification numbers issued to the business by the State
Water Resources Control Board. All applications are evaluated by staff to verify the primary
activity of the business and subjectivity to the new state requirements, and therefore, if approved,
all applications for business certificates will be subject to the proposed new fee.
1 of 6 February 4, 2020, Item #4
Staff has analyzed the increased costs that the City will incur as a result of this unfunded mandate,
which it estimates to be $28 per application. The Resolution adds a new fee to the City's Master Fee
Schedule, accordingly (Attachment B). The new fee will be increased each January by the annual
change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers, San Diego-Carlsbad (2019 =
299.433). The year reference and related annual index number are provided to help individuals
calculating the annual change in the index select the correct data series given the number and
variations of CPI data series.
Environmental Review:
None.
Fiscal Impact:
Even though staff's work has increased while resources have not, the staff costs associated with
processing this unfunded mandate will be offset by the proposed new fee.
Public Notification:
None.
