5.2.2.4 Credit Criteria For Commercial Properties,where the no-Credit conditions do not apply,prior wastewater demand is calculated by: i)if SAC was paid it is the number of SAC units paid reduced by any Credits that were used off the Site by the Community(i.e.the gross SAC units charged is the SAC Credit); or ii)if SAC was not paid a Non-Conforming Credit is available upon Community application if and when records are provided for a Site which indicates either a)a Grandparent Demand that has been in existence when SAC started(1973,with evidence from 1968-1978)or a prior acceptance of Grandparent Demand for the Site; or b)if not Grandparent Demand, a Long Continuous Demand from the Site for 10 or more years prior to the current Determination or permit issuance and within 0- 3 years of the current Determination.The allowance of a Long Continuous Demand Credit(where SAC was mistakenly not paid)must be for the benefit of a different owner then who should have paid SAC originally. The Community needs to provide documentation for either of these Non- Conforming Demands to establish Credit. It is acknowledged that this may be hard for a Community and thus the applicability of such Non-Conforming Credits are rare. For Non-Conforming Grandparent Demand,if documentation is not provided,and MCES has no SAC history but there is information from the County website that show the property was built prior to 1973,the Credit will be determined based on a minimal use(warehouse,office,and/or retail). If detailed plans are not available, 80%of gross square footage is used to calculate Credit(this is the assumed usable space)of a minimum use type(e.g.retail, office,warehouse). If the gross square footage is not provided, one Credit per building will be assigned. Communities may not assign a minimum charge for each individual business occupying a building. Alternatively to providing full historical details, MCES may accept a certification of a Community official about the prior use of a Site(with form Affidavit-C). If Non-Conforming Grandparent Demand Credits are applied for a Site,that redetermination is the basis for future redeterminations,not the Grandparent Demand from 1973 (that is, 1973 P grandparenting data is no longer relevant).However,Net Credits from Grandparent Demand are reserved for a company's growth on that Site for 5 additional years after the redetermination and permit issuance. For Non-Conforming Long Continuous Demand,the Community will need to provide evidence of the Continuous Demand for 10 or more years prior to the current Determination or permit issuance and within 3 years of the current Determination. Evidence can include: i)a dated building plan associated with a building or sewer permit; ii)business license for consecutive years detailing the specific use and size of the space; or iii)other dated documentation that details the specific use and size. Alternatively to providing full Continuous Demand details,MCES may accept a certification of a Community official about the prior use of a Site(with form Affidavit-C). No Net Credits are generated by the unused potential Credits from Non-Conforming Long Continuous Demand. All Credit Determinations are subject to review and approval of MCES. Contact MCES for any questions or estimates. 5.2.2.4.1 Credit Criteria for Restaurants SAC calculations for restaurants will be calculated on the incremental seat count if the previous use was also a restaurant. (e.g.Burger King remodeling to a Perkins.)The Determination will charge the new seats only(i.e.the new submitted plan seats less the number of seats that were determined and reported to MCES previously).These incremental seats will be charged at the current rate and criteria with the new Determination. If the previous use had a higher seat count than the new seat count, Page 22
