Vehicles parked or stored in residential zoning districts on property, other than on driveways or other improved surface designed for parking as reasonably determined by the City, and visible from a public street; i. Amend Chapter 15.44 Protection of Sanitary Sewer System from Fats, Oil and Grease as follows: 15.44.040 Grease interceptor requirements. Grease Interceptor Requirements. All food service establishments are required to install, operate, and maintain an approved type and adequately sized grease interceptor necessary to maintain compliance with the objectives of this chapter. All grease interceptors must meet the requirements of the California Plumbing Code. A. New Food Service Establishments. All new establishments are subject to grease interceptor requirements. All such facilities must obtain prior approval from the operations services director for grease interceptor sizing prior to submitting plans for a building permit. B. Existing Food Service Establishments. All existing food service establishments determined by the operations services director to have a potential to adversely impact the city's sewer system will be notified of their obligation to install a grease interceptor within the specified period set forth in the notification letter. In addition, existing establishments with planned modification with a building permit evaluation of $50,000.00 or more will be required to include plans to comply with the grease interceptor requirements. These facilities must obtain approval from the operations services director for grease interceptor sizing prior to submitting plans for a building permit. C. Shared Grease Interceptors. One or more food service establishments may comply with the requirements of this chapter by use of a shared grease interceptor. Such shared interceptor may be located on an adjacent or adjoining parcel, provided, however, that the food service establishment seeking to establish compliance by means of this section shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the operations services director that: (i) it has enforceable rights to utilize the shared interceptor pursuant to an easement; declaration; covenants, conditions, and restrictions; or similar instrument; and (ii) the shared interceptor is sized as necessary to accommodate the discharges of all food service establishments enjoying rights to use such interceptor; and (iii) there is a mechanism providing for continued maintenance of such shared interceptor. D. Variance from Grease Interceptor Requirements. Grease interceptors required under this chapter shall be installed unless the operations services director determines that the installation of a grease interceptor would not be feasible and authorizes the installation of an indoor grease trap or other alternative pretreatment technology. Alternative pretreatment technology includes, but is not limited to, devices that are used to trap, separate and hold grease from wastewater and prevent it from being discharged into the sanitary sewer collection system. All alternative pretreatment technology must be appropriately sized and approved by the operations services director. The food service establishment bears the burden of demonstrating that the installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible. The operations services director may authorize the installation of an indoor grease trap where the installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible
