(A) The purpose of chapter 27.5 of this Code is to protect, maintain, and enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse impacts associated with increased and altered stormwater runoff. The city council hereby finds that proper management of stormwater runoff will minimize damage to public and private property, reduce the harmful effects of development on land, control stream channel erosion, reduce local flooding, and maintain after development, as nearly as possible, the predevelopment runoff characteristics.
(B) The provisions of chapter 27.5 shall be construed to be minimum stormwater management requirements. No such provisions shall be deemed a limitation on appropriate management practices or the city’s authority in respect thereto. The city, in coordination with the City of Omaha, Nebraska, Douglas County. Nebraska, and Sarpy County, Nebraska shall be responsible for the coordination and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter 27.5
(C) The provisions of chapter 27.5 of this Code shall be applicable to all that property lying within the city and all property lying within the city’s zoning jurisdiction, as either is extended from time to time.
