[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
Each developer/owner subject to this Chapter shall submit plans
as required by this Article to the City stormwater committee for review
and approval.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
A.
Submittal. A grading plan as well as an erosion and sediment control
plan containing all appropriate information as specified in this Chapter
and outlined in the City stormwater design manual shall be submitted
to the director in conjunction with the final subdivision plat, final
site plan, construction plan, or any other land development plan subject
to this Chapter.
B.
Application Requirements. The plan submittal shall contain:
1.
A completed application form provided by the City for any applicable permits as outlined in Article VII, Permits, of this Chapter;
3.
A grading plan that satisfies the requirements of this Section
and the City stormwater design manual;
4.
An erosion and sediment control plan that satisfies the requirements
of this Section and the City stormwater design manual; and
5.
A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) that satisfies
the requirements of this Section and the City stormwater design manual.
6.
All plans shall be submitted in both paper and electronic (thumb
drive) format.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
A.
Approval Of Other City Permits. Unless exempt, no land disturbance
permit or building permit shall be issued for land development without
approval of a grading plan, erosion and sediment control plan and
stormwater pollution prevention plan.
B.
Coordination With Other Plans. Approval of the permit shall be coordinated
by City with regard to the location, schedule, or phasing for temporary
and permanent erosion and sediment control measures. If natural drainage
features or other natural areas are to be preserved, then these areas
must be shown and measures provided for their protection on both the
erosion and sediment control plan and the stormwater management construction
plan.
C.
Other Entity Permits Or Approvals May Be Needed. Approvals issued
in accordance with this Chapter do not relieve the applicant of responsibility
for obtaining all other necessary permits or approvals from other
federal, state, or local agencies. If requirements vary, the most
restrictive shall prevail. These permits may include, but are not
limited to, applicable state and federal permits for stream and wetland
impacts. Applicants are required to show proof of compliance with
these regulations before the City will issue a land disturbance or
building permit.
D.
Stormwater Measures Within Designated Flood Hazard Areas. Construction
of stormwater measures or facilities within a Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) designated floodplain or floodway shall be avoided to
the extent possible. When this is unavoidable, all stormwater BMP
construction shall be in compliance with all applicable requirements
of the City's floodplain management regulations.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
All applicants shall participate in a pre-application meeting
with the stormwater and planning departments to discuss potential
approaches for stormwater design and opportunities to use design techniques
to reduce runoff rates, volumes, and pollutant loads. During the pre-application
meeting, the applicant shall provide information regarding design
considerations.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
A.
Plan Requirements. After the pre-application review, the applicant
shall prepare a preliminary stormwater management plan describing,
in general, how stormwater runoff through and from the development
will be treated and conveyed.
B.
Maximize Use Of Techniques To Reduce Runoff By Design. The stormwater
management preliminary plan shall utilize to the maximum extent practicable
site planning and design technique that reduce runoff rates, volumes,
and pollutant loads. Such techniques include, but are not limited
to, minimization or disconnection of impervious surfaces; development
design that reduces the rate and volume of runoff; restoration or
enhancement of natural areas such as riparian areas, wetlands; and
distributed practices that intercept and treat runoff from developed
areas.
C.
Preliminary Plan Prior To Design Plan. The preliminary stormwater
management plan must be approved by the City stormwater committee
prior to submission of a stormwater management design plan (as part
of the construction or final site plan) for the entire development,
or portions thereof. In addition, the applicant or his/her representative
shall meet on site with the Director prior to approval of the stormwater
management construction plan for the purposes of verifying the conditions
of the site and all receiving channels. If the development is a subdivision,
the preliminary stormwater management plan must be submitted with
the preliminary plat.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
If the developer/owner only desires to obtain a land disturbance
permit for purposes of clearing and grading, they may do so upon approval
of the preliminary plan, erosion and sediment control plan and a stormwater
pollution prevention plan.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
A.
Submittal. A stormwater management design plan containing all appropriate
information shall be submitted to the Director in conjunction with
the final development plan, final site plan, final subdivision construction
plan, or any other land development plan subject to this Article.
B.
Application Requirements. The stormwater management design plan submittal
shall contain:
1.
A completed application form provided by City for any applicable permits as outlined in Article VII, Permits, of this Chapter.
3.
A stormwater management construction plan that satisfies the
requirements of this Section and the City stormwater design manual.
4.
A stormwater facilities or BMP maintenance plan for the period
of construction and for post-construction.
C.
Consistency Between Preliminary Plans And Construction Plans. A copy
of the approved preliminary stormwater management plan shall be submitted
with the construction plans. The Director shall check the construction
plan for consistency with the preliminary plan.
D.
Stormwater Management Design Plan Content. The stormwater management
design plan shall contain maps, charts, graphs, tables, photographs,
narrative descriptions, explanations, calculations, citations to supporting
references, a record of all major permit decisions, and other information
as may be necessary for a complete review of the plan.
[Ord. No. 3025, 8-7-2018]
A.
Review Period. A thirty-calendar-day review period begins on the
day the complete stormwater management construction plan is accepted
for review by the City. During the thirty-day review period, the City
shall either approve or disapprove the plan and communicate the decision
to the applicant, in writing. Approval or denial shall be based on
the plan's compliance with this Article and the City stormwater design
manual. Within thirty (30) days after receiving an application, the
City shall, in writing:
1.
Approve the permit application; or
2.
Approve the permit application subject to such reasonable conditions
as may be necessary to secure substantially the objectives of this
regulation, and issue the permit subject to these conditions; or
3.
Disapprove the permit application, indicating in general the
