§ 155.04 GENERAL APPROACH.

   (A)   To most effectively achieve the program objectives, the city promotes an approach that encourages the consideration and use of:

      (1)   Regional BMPs;

      (2)   Low-impact development design principles;

      (3)   Waterway buffers;

      (4)   Low maintenance on-site BMPs; and

      (5)   A series of multiple BMP treatment systems.

   (B)   The city will encourage a primary preference for regional BMPs through:

      (1)   Enabling and facilitating private partnerships where on-site storm water quantity and/or quality requirements may be achieved or offset by watershed based solutions; and

      (2)   Enabling and supporting private to public partnerships, offsets and regional BMP banking, and in-lieu fee funds.

   (C)   In support of this approach, the city integrates into the planning and construction plan review processes, when and where available, the use of:

      (1)   City Council adopted watershed studies;

      (2)   City Council adopted master plans;

      (3)   FEMA floodplain delineations; and

      (4)   USEPA, KDOW 303(d) reports.
