A. 
This Chapter is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Code, Stream Buffer Protection Ordinance and Rights-of-Way Usage and Grading Ordinance of the City of Olivette, Missouri, to ensure that the development of land in the City of Olivette occurs in a manner that protects, provides for and promotes the public health, safety, convenience, comfort and general welfare of the residents of Olivette.
B. 
The Clean Water Act Phase II Stormwater Regulations were promulgated to provide appropriate stormwater management of non-point source pollution in urbanized areas, and these regulations apply to the watersheds located within the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD). Olivette recognizes that as an urban mature community which has traditionally been developed to facilitate stormwater drainage onto streets, catch basins, detention areas and streams, the City must be cognizant of the quality of water that is being generated and directed into surrounding watersheds. The intent of this Chapter is to establish the regulations and guidelines for how stormwater is managed, purified and detained on private and public property.
C. 
Specific purposes of this Chapter include the following:
1. 
To control and manage stormwater on developed property;
2. 
Minimize adverse stormwater effects on adjoining and nearby properties;
3. 
Improve the water quality and limit the sources of impairment within adjacent streams, basins and watersheds;
4. 
Commit the City of Olivette to the St. Louis County Phase II Stormwater Management Plan;
5. 
To ensure the orderly development of land; and
6. 
To protect and to conserve the value of building and other improvements and to minimize adverse impact of development on adjoining or nearby properties.

Wherever conflicts exist between the regulations and minimum standards set forth in this Chapter with other regulations, ordinances or resolutions, the more restrictive or higher standard shall apply.
