(a) The rate per account per month shall be the monthly fee, which is equal to the quantity x (modified average daily trips x pass-by trip factor) x the rate.
(i) Quantity is the unit of measure defined by the Institute of Traffic Engineers’ (ITE) manual and is usually gross square footage (GFA) of the building, number of dwelling units, etc.
(ii) Modified average daily trips is determined per Section 4.763 and Table 4.1.
(iii) Pass-by trip factor is determined per Section 4.763 and Table 4.1.

(b) Effective July 1, 2013, there shall be two customer groups:
(i) Residential.
(ii) Nonresidential.
(c) Customers classified as nonprofit, houses of worship and fraternal organizations shall receive a 50 percent reduction in their modified average daily trip-end where the building or unit’s primary purpose is administration. The reduction applies to the headquarters or main administrative offices only; satellite or auxiliary facilities operated by these organizations at other sites shall not receive the discount. Government offices directly concerned with the delivery of social services to individuals and families are not eligible for the discount.
(d) In the event the monthly fee for nonresidential customers is less than the monthly fee for single-family customers, the monthly street fee shall be equal to the single-family monthly street fee for each applicable ITE bundle assigned to the account.
(2) This fee is deemed reasonable and is necessary to pay for the operation and maintenance of streets within the City.
(3) The street utility charges described in this section shall apply for each month, or part thereof, during which the utility account is active.
