Design and performance standards for stormwater management measures:
(A) Stormwater management measures for major development shall be developed to meet the erosion control, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quantity, and stormwater runoff quality standards as set forth by the City Engineer. To the maximum extent practicable, these standards shall be met by incorporating nonstructural stormwater management strategies into the design. If these strategies alone are not sufficient to meet these standards, structural stormwater management measures necessary to meet these standards shall be incorporated into the design.
(B) The standards in this chapter apply only to new development and are intended to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and water quantity in receiving water bodies and maintain groundwater recharge, and to assure that existing city sewers shall not be burdened by additional or enhanced stormwater created by newly created buildings, developments, structures, and/or construction.
