Title
Approval of an Amendment to the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Land Development and Environmental Protection, Article 7.2, Post-Development Stormwater Management. (Second Reading)
Presented by Stuart Moring, Director of Public Works/Environmental
Body
Item Summary:
Amendments to the Post-Development Stormwater Management Article are proposed to reflect increasing Federal and local interest in Low Impact Development (LID) techniques for efficient management of stormwater and water quality. This amendment will encourage LID techniques to integrate stormwater management with development layout and planning, rather than retrofit on a completed design, providing a more sustainable solution.
The proposed changes address large lot and small lot redevelopment in order to allow flexibility in designing for additional site specific requirements and to address water quality using LID techniques for new development and redevelopment.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On September 24, 2012 Mayor and City Council approved the first reading of this Ordinance.
Financial Impact:
