SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT
TO:
Mayor and city council
FROM:
City Attorney
Ordinance Adding Chapter 2B to Article VII of
the Santa Monica Municipal Code Restricting the
Amount of Wastewater Permitted to be Discharged
into the Santa Monica Sewer System and Declaring
the Presence of an Emergency
SUBJECT:
Section 7191 has been added to the proposed emergency
ordinance restricting the amount of wastewater permitted to be
discharged into the Santa Monica sewer system. This new section
regulates the transfer, expiration, and extension of City permits
and approvals.
This Section has been added to deal with three problems.
First, it is designed to prevent a market being created in the
trading or sale of sewer allocation permits.
It does this by
making the permits nontransferable.
Second, this Section
establ ishes expiration dates for the sewer allocation permits.
By creating expiration dates for the permits, projects will not
tie up sewer capacity if they are unable to go forward. Permits
will expire within 90 days after they are issued unless the
project obtains a building permit entitling it to commence
construction. In addition, the permit will expire whenever the
building permit expires if construction does not commence.

Lastly, this section recognizes that there may be instances when
city approvals or permits will expire while a project waits for a
sewer allocation permit.
So as to avoid this result, this
Section makes clear that these other city approvals or permits
shall be extended by the period of time that a project is on any
sewer allocation permit waiting list.
