The Committee reaffirms its original intention that all multiple dwellings should be charged on the same basis; that is, no differentation should be made between transient occupied and non-transient occupied dwellings. This places all commercial operations on the same basis. Exhibit 'A" Resolution No. 309.3 (recommended water rates) 'B" Resolution No. 2098 (current water rates) Staff Recommendations The Water Committee has spent many hours studying every feasible alternative for spreading water costs which has been suggested. No rate structure will be completely accepted by every water user. Resolution No. 3^9^ provides a reasonable compromise between the needs of the various segments of the community. Water rates have been established to generate a certain overall revenue necessary to operate the enterprise. Any significant decrease to one segment of the rate structure must be acknowledged by a comparable increase in some other segment of the rate structure AB NO. Date- March 20. 1973 City Manager's Recommendation Policy matter. The City Council may wish to consider other alternatives such as charging units with cooking facilities in the same manner as apartments and units without cooking . a lesser amount, such as $1.00 per unit. Council Action 3-20-73 It was agreed that this matter be tabled until further information is furnished by the staff. ^,:../ /.-2- F e 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3093 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A STANDARDS VA€UANCE FOR A 108 DWELLING UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ALGA ROAD AND BLACK RAIL COURT.
