NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

(Including a Summary of Proposed Ordinance)

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 10, 2019 and May 1, 2019 the Board of Supervisors will introduce and consider for adoption an ordinance to adjust Department of Environmental Health fees and other cost recovery authorities, for County fiscal year  2019-2020, to apply until further amended. A summary is provided below.  The title of the ordinance is as follows:

“An Ordinance Amending Title 6 of the San Diego County Code of Regulatory Ordinances to Adjust Department of Environmental Health Regulatory Program Fees”

HEARING INFORMATION:

Date:               April 10, 2019

Time:               9:00 a.m.

Location:         County Administration Center, Room 310

                      1600 Pacific Highway,

                      San Diego, CA 92101

Date:               May 1, 2019

Time:               9:00 a.m.

Location:         County Administration Center, Room 310

                      1600 Pacific Highway,

                      San Diego, CA 92101

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE:    

This ordinance would adjust DEH regulatory program permit fees and other fees to incorporate recent and anticipated changes in program costs, including increased labor costs. It would also  extend to additional programs the authority for DEH to directly recover, from responsible parties, the staff time costs of investigating suspected unpermitted operations and responding to complaints and referrals of suspected violations of regulatory programs administered by DEH. This authority would apply only in cases where illegal operation is confirmed or complaints or referrals are substantially validated.  Some, but not all DEH programs already have such cost recovery fees in place.  Enforcement costs recovered through these direct fees would no longer be incorporated into DEH permit fees.

The ordinance would also retitle a current “fee” for operating a food facility without a permit as the “penalty” authorized in State law, and would provide for appeals of those penalties. These revisions would implement State law. Fee provisions and definitions are also revised for internal consistency and reorganized to improve clarity. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:  

Staff are recommending that the Board of Supervisors find that the proposed ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 21080(b)(8) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and 15273(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, because these modifications to fees and charges are necessary to meet operating expenses.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

A copy of the full text of the Ordinance is posted at the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Room 402 of said County Administration Center. For additional information regarding this proposal, documents are available for public review at 5500 Overland Avenue, Suite 210, San Diego, CA 92123 or contact Department of Environmental Health Public Records at (858) 505-6921.

This public hearing is accessible to individuals with disabilities. If interpreter services for the hearing impaired are needed, please call the hearing secretary at (619) 531-5600 or California Relay Service, if notifying by TDD, no later than seven (7) days prior to the scheduled hearing. 

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE, pursuant to State of California Health and Safety Code Sections 40725 and 42311, is hereby given of a public hearing on April 10, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., before the Air Pollution Control Board (Board) of the County of San Diego, in Room 310, County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California, for the purpose of receiving public comments on and considering the adoption of proposed amendments to Rule 40 – Permit and Other Fees and Rule 42 – Hearing Board Fees of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (District).

Federal law requires the District to adopt fees to recover the full cost of issuing federally mandated permits to major stationary sources of air pollutant emissions.  State law authorizes the District to adopt fees to recover the full costs of District programs related to stationary sources that are not otherwise funded, provided total permit fee revenues (collected from all permit fees) do not increase by more than 15%.  Board policy requires the District to recover the full cost of fee-supported services.

The proposal meets those requirements and is the result of a comprehensive analysis of District services provided to business customers and the costs to provide those services.  The results indicate a fee adjustment is necessary to maintain compliance with cost recovery requirements in Fiscal Year 2019-20.

If adopted, the proposed amendments to Rules 40 and 42 will take effect on July 1, 2019, and are projected to increase the District's total annual fee revenue by $314,000 (3%).

The Board may consider modifications to the proposal, which may be deemed appropriate.  Written comments are also invited.  Comments should be addressed to:

Israel Garza, Chief

San Diego County Air Pollution Control District

10124 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA  92131

Copies of the proposed amendments to Rules 40 and 42 may be examined or obtained at the District's headquarters, 10124 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA 92131, or by visiting the District's website at http://www.sdapcd.org/content/sdc/apcd/en/Rule_Development/Public_Hearings.html.  Specific information with respect to this matter may be obtained by calling Israel Garza at (858) 586-2607 or Robert Reider at (858) 586-2640.
