Pursuant t commercial 100 square residential per single mobile home F -I o SWDD Resolution 91-1 the waste generation rates for properties are applied as waste generation units per feet of structural space. Waste generation rates for structures are applied at a single rate of 1.6 WGU's family residence and 1.2 WGU's per multifamily unit or park unit. Pursuant to Section 7 of Ordinance 87-67 all assessable properties receive benefits by the availability of the SWDD and are assessable whether the property generates waste or not. Commercial properties are authorized credits for vacancy and recycling as provided in Resolution 91-1, while residential properties are not allowed such credit. Vacancy credit can be applied to an assessable commercial property for vacancies exceeding 6 months within the calendar year previous to year the assessment is:. due. Recycling credit equivalent to the tons of material recycled can also be applied to commercial properties for materials recycled in the calendar year prior to that in which an assessment is due. Under no circumstances, however, is a property or business to receive vacancy or recycling credit to the extent that the assessment would reduce below the Readiness to Use Fee of $21.00 per WGU. As such no business or property can receive credit in excess of 40.5% of the original annual assessment. The granting of recycling credit occurs under two procedures. There are businesses that report either monthly or quarterly their amount. of material that is recycled directly to the District's Recycling Coordinator: At the end of each calendar year the Recycling Coordinator generates a report to the District's -Tax Coordinator outlining the total tons of material recycled by each reporting business. The Tax Coordinator then updates the District's Annual Assessment Roll and adjusts the credit so the business is automatically provided recycling credit in their annual assessment. Those businesses that do not report their recycling efforts may still obtain recycling credit by providing a written request to the SWDD Tax Coordinator outlining amount and type of material recycled with substantial documentation. The Tax Coordinator then forwards an assessment change to the Property Appraiser for the credit.
