Resolution No. 10249
A Resolution of The City of Palo Alto Adopting Regulations for
Food Facilities Related to Water Pollution Prevention and
Management of Fats, Oils, and Grease
R E C I T A L S
A.Requirements for food facilities related to water pollution prevention and management of
fats, oils, and grease (FOG) were previously included in Chapter 16.11 of the Palo Alto
Municipal Code (PAMC), entitled Stormwater Pollution Prevention, and Chapter 16.09,
entitled Sewer Use Ordinance.
B.On September 15, 2025, in order to better protect public health, local receiving waters, and
the City’s storm drain and sanitary sewer systems, the City introduced an ordinance that
would add a new chapter to the PAMC, Chapter 16.13, and consolidate requirements for
food facilities related to management of stormwater and FOG within that Chapter. To
implement that ordinance, City staff as directed by the Director of Public Works have
prepared the Palo Alto Regulations for Food Facilities Related to Water Pollution Prevention
and Management of Fats, Oils, and Grease, incorporated by reference in this Resolution.
C.Chapter 12.20 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code provides that the City Council may by
resolution adopt rules and regulations governing utility services, including wastewater and
storm drainage utility services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, the Palo
Alto Regulations for Food Facilities Related to Water Pollution Prevention and Management of
Fats, Oils, and Grease, incorporated herein, are approved and adopted. Except as otherwise
specified in the Regulations, the Regulations shall become effective on the date that the
ordinance introduced September 15, 2025, adding Chapter 16.13 to the PAMC goes into effect.
Upon adoption, the Regulations will be published on the City’s website, paloalto.gov.

SECTION 2. The Council finds that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), pursuant to Section 15308 of
the CEQA Guidelines, because it is an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency to assure
the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the
regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment.
