8.56.090: STORTNIWATER DESIGN CRITERIA,
A. General. The design of stormwater BMPs shall consider public health, safety, and general
welfare of the City and its citizens. These considerations include, but are not limited to:
preventing flooding of structures and travel ways; preventing standing water in facilities,
manholes, inlets, and other structures in a manner that promotes the breeding of
mosquitoes; preventing attractive nuisance conditions and dangerous conditions due to
velocity or depth of water and/or access to orifices and drops; and preventing aesthetic
nuisances due to excessive slopes, cuts and fills, and other conditions. All stormtivater
facilities and conveyance systems shall be designed in compliance with all applicable state
and federal taws and regulations, including the Federal Clean Water Act and all applicable
erosion and sediment control and flood plain regulations. All development and
redevelopment shall apply Source control BMPs selected, designed, and maintained in
accordance with the PVSDNI.
B. Entire Project Considered. Residential. commercial or industrial developments shall apply
these stormwater criteria to land development as a whole. Individual residential lots in new
subdivisions shall not be considered separate land development projects, but rather the
entire subdivision shall be considered a single land development project.
C. Ownership of Facilities. Storinwater facilities within residential subdivisions that serve
multiple lots and/or a combination of tots and roadways shall be on a lot owned and
maintained by an entity of common ownership. Stormwater practices located on individual
lots shall be maintained by the lot owner, or, at the discretion of the Public Works Director,
be placed within an easement and maintained by an entity of common ownership.
D. Floodplains, Critical Areas, and Jurisdictional Waters. Construction of stormwater
measures or facilities within a Federal Emergency Management A-ency (FEMA)
designated floodplain shall be avoided to the extent possible. To the extent practical,
In
ORDNANCE -9-
stormwater facilities shall not be located in areas determined to be jurisdictional waters
through Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and/or applicable state regulations.
E. Ultimate Land Development Considered. Hydrologic parameters used in calculations shall
reflect the runoff conditions for the ultimate land development and shall be used in all
engineering calculations. All pre -development calculations shall consider open space,
u,00ds and fields to be in good condition, regardless of actual conditions at the time of
application.
F. All development and redevelopment shall provide the passage of upland flow and site
runoff. Conveyance of upland flow shall maintain natural drainage patterns. Discharges
from project sites should occur at the natural location to the maximum extent or, where
altered, must be situated or directed to where it would have overflowed Linder the
conditions existing prior to proposed development. Capacity of the drainage Course
downstream of the development may not be exceeded. Design calculations for passage of
upland flow and site runoff shall use the 100 -year, 24-hour design storm.
G. Site Runoff and Flow Control. Discharges from all new development and redevelopment
L�
must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down-
I -
gradient properties. Storniv,,ater site plans shall provide for the on-site detention and/or
retention of the total water intercepted and collected by the development and the areas
(improved or unimproved) lying and draining presently to and through the proposed
development, for the design storm unless other natural or manmade systems are available
for use. Flow control facilities shall be selected, designed, constructed, operated and
maintained consistent with guidance found in the PVSDM, and criteria herein.
Site runoff design and flow control facility design calculations for peak flow and peak
volume detention requirements shall be based on detention of the post -development
condition for the stated design storm, and the contributinc, basin size, where
contributing basin size refers to the total area above the inlet or hydraulic element. Peak
discharge rates for the post -development condition Must be reduced to at least pre -
development rates of the 50 -year '24-hour design storm, and to at least the pre -
development rates of the 100 -year 24-hour design storm with a maximum discharge of
oe Areas, as designated by the PVSDIVI.
0.1 efs/acre in Special Drainal,,
Fl. Treatment. Treatment is required for g discharges to all surface waters of the state, including
Z:7
perennial and seasonal streams, lakes and wetlands where the impervious threshold is met.
Runoff treatment is also required for discharges of stormwater to around where the vadose
zone does not provide adequate treatment capacity as identified in the PVSD,%;I. Stormwater
site plans shall provide for the treatment of site runoff for the design storm, as described in
the PVSDi\,I. Treatment facilities shall be selected, desioned, constructed, operated and
maintained consistent with guidance found in the PVSDM, and criteria herein.
