A. No building permit, final plat approval, or other discretionary approval shall be granted until the stormwater management plan has been approved by the city.
B. Except as allowed by title 16, chapter 16.45 of this code, no building permit will be issued for new subdivisions until the stormwater management system, including infiltration basins, curb and sidewalks, has been constructed for the developed portion and will accept the flow of stormwater as designed. For all other cases, no certificate of occupancy will be issued until the stormwater management system has been installed and will accept the flow of stormwater as designed.
1. Exception: If, in the judgment of the administrator, project occupancy can be achieved without harm to the environment or potential occupants, occupancy may proceed upon receipt of an acceptable guarantee of financial surety, pursuant to section 15.08.075 of this code, to complete installation when weather conditions or other variables allow but in no event more than six (6) months after occupancy. In no case shall such guarantee be allowed if the incomplete improvements would result in increased erosion, sedimentation, or other damage to the development, public improvements, surface or subsurface waters, the proposed stormwater management system or otherwise endanger the public health or safety.
C. At any time, the city may stop work on the installation of subdivision improvements, withhold further issuance of building permits in a development, stop work on any individual building or development of any individual building site, or otherwise take steps necessary to ensure that the development meets the requirements of this chapter.
