5.2.1.5 Determinations A Determination is required whenever there is a change or increase in use or an official acknowledged change in sewer demand(e.g. issuance of a business permit for which SAC has not been paid),whether or not a Demolition is involved. Examples that require a Determination include: a change from retail to restaurant,tenant build-out of a speculative office/warehouse space,most physical changes in the building that requires a building and/or plumbing permit(unless it fits exclusion criteria in 5.2.1.5.4), and any tenant changes that differ from the previous use of the space (as defined for SAC purposes). Temporary New Uses are assigned SAC units in the same manner as permanent New Uses,unless they qualify for a Temporary Capacity Charge(see Section 5.2.1.11). When the use of the space is calculated using fixture unit criteria, fixture rough-ins count toward the total SAC Determination calculation. In types of building use that do not use fixture units to calculate the SAC(e.g. office building or salon)a rough-in for a shower will be added towards the total SAC Determination. When a new tenant moves into a retail shopping center and the use is changed, an updated tenant listing should be supplied to MCES as part of the Determination process. The listing should include a current list of all tenants and suite numbers. 5.2.1.5.1 Determination Submittal Those that request MCES to complete a Determination will require submission of the MCES Transmittal-A(SAC Determination Application) form and any other form applicable that can be found in Appendix B along with scalable floor plans.
