17.10.040 Modifications and Appeals to Standard Criteria.
The stormwater treatment standards must be adopted and amended by the City Engineer following a public input process.
(A) Redevelopment Projects. The City Engineer may modify or reduce requirements on redevelopment projects in the City.
(B) Modifications to Allow Alternate Compliance. In addition, the City Engineer may waive or modify any of the stormwater treatment standards to encourage the implementation of alternative or innovative practices that implement the intent of the modified standards and provide equivalent public benefits without significant adverse impacts on surrounding developments. Such modifications may be granted for issues including, but not limited to:
(1) Approval of alternate materials, devices, techniques, details or specifications for individual stormwater treatment facilities that would be expected to provide similar or better performance.
(2) Evaluations of credits, ratings, or level of service calculations to account for unique or special technical considerations.
(3) Corrections, clarifications or modifications to requirements which the City Engineer has found to give inadequate or undesirable performance.
(C) Appeals of decisions made by the City Engineer related to the stormwater treatment standards must be made to the City Manager within ten (10) calendar days of the date of notice of such decision. The City Manager’s decision is a final decision of the City. (Ord. 22-52 § 14, 2022; Ord. 09-25 § 2, 2009.)
