31104.8
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this division,
the Santa Ana Mountains County Water District may, pursuant to the
notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the
Government Code, fix, in each fiscal year, within Community
Facilities District No. 2 of the district, sewage and waste service
standby or availability assessments of not more than two hundred
fifty dollars ($250) per year for each acre or portion thereof to
which sewage and waste service is immediately available, unless the
standby or availability assessment is imposed pursuant to the Uniform
Standby Charge Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section
54984) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code).
The Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Mountains County Water
District may establish schedules varying the assessment according to
the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of
the sewer capacity to the affected lands.
(b) The Santa Ana Mountains County Water District may elect to
have the assessments authorized by subdivision (a) for the fiscal
year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same
persons, and at the same time, as, and together with and not
separately from, county taxes. In that event, the district shall
prepare a written report which shall be filed with the secretary. The
report shall contain a description of each parcel of real property
and the amount of the assessment for each parcel for the year.
(c) The sewage and waste service standby or availability
assessment authorized by this section shall not be imposed on any
subdivided parcel upon which there exists a residential unit which
has been connected to domestic sewer facilities of the Santa Ana
Mountains County Water District.
(d) If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the
time a standby or availability assessment was established were
followed, the Santa Ana Mountains County Water District may, by
resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in
successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended
assessments are proposed, the board shall comply with the notice,
protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government
Code.
