[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 deficiencies and the procedure for submitting a revised application or submission.
B.
Modifications Needed For Approval. In cases where modifications are required to approve the plan, the City stormwater committee shall have an additional thirty (30) days to review the revised plan from the initial and any subsequent resubmission dates. If the plan is approved, one (1) copy bearing certification of such approval shall be returned to the applicant. If the plan is disapproved, the applicant shall be notified, in writing, of the reasons.
C.
Substantive Changes To Plan. No substantive changes shall be made to an approved plan without review and written approval by the Director; the City may request additional data with a plan amendment as may be necessary for a complete review of the plan and to ensure that changes to the plan will comply with the requirements of this Article. This does not apply to the land disturbance plan, which may be changed as construction warrants.
D.
Expiration Of Plan Approval. The stormwater management construction plan's approval expires two (2) years from the date of approval unless work has begun on the site or an extension request from the owner or design engineer has been received by the Director. If the stormwater management construction plan approval expires and is not granted an extension, the applicant shall file with the Director for renewal of the stormwater management construction plan.
