This chapter establishes stormwater management requirements within the City. The City has a Stormwater Design Manual that gives more specific guidance on the procedures and calculation methodologies required to meet the requirements of this chapter. While adherence will not eliminate non-point source pollution, stop flooding or prevent all damage caused by flooding, it does establish a basis for design which will:
(a) Minimize the damage and inconvenience of flooding;
(b) Provide drainage systems which continue to provide benefit over the long term;
(c) Minimize the expense of maintaining the drainage facilities within the City;
(d) Reduce non-point-source pollution;
(e) Minimize new impacts on engineered and natural drainage systems; and
(f) Prevent or reduce impacts to stream and river ecosystems.
