(a) Stormwater management plans and comprehensive drainage plans for any new construction or reconstruction within the city watershed shall be submitted to the Executive Director. The plans shall be reviewed by the Executive Director for compliance with the applicable rules and standards. Plans developed to meet federal or state requirements may be submitted, and will be approved if they conform to the requirements of this article.
(b) The plan submission and review process shall be coordinated with and integrated into the City planning and permitting process. No building permit shall be issued without an approved stormwater management plan if required under this article.
(c) To ensure that new development and redevelopment projects greater than or equal to 1.0 acres including projects less than 1.0 acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale conform to the long-term stormwater control standards, the City will implement project review, approval and enforcement procedures.
(d) The review, approval and enforcement procedures shall apply to all new development and redevelopment disturbing greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, and shall include the following steps:
(1) Submit for review and approval a pre-application concept plan that describes how the performance standards will be met.
(2) Next a pre-application meeting shall be attended by the project land owner or developer, the project design engineer, and municipal planning staff to discuss conceptual designs.
(3) Dependent upon the scope of the development, plans will be distributed and presented by the planning staff to the Planning Commission, Utility Board and City Council for comments. Any comments received must be addressed by the land owner or developer prior to approval of the plan.
(4) Once constructed, “as-built” certifications shall be submitted by the land owner or developer within 90 days of completion of a project.
(5) Within 30 days of the receipt of the as-built certification, a post- construction verification process will be performed by the City to ensure that stormwater standards are being met. Non-compliance shall be addressed by the methods discussed in Section 937.26.
(6) Operations and Maintenance data supplied for the project will be used to educate both internal staff and external project proponents of the requirements of long-term stormwater controls.
