Alternative Action Options: The City Council could choose not to adopt the proposed ordinance amendments. The proposed ordinance amendments are intended to bring the City into compliance with the requirements of its MS4 permit and the LRRWMO's 3rd Generation Plan and are the minimum standards necessary to do so. Failure to adopt these ordinance amendments may create difficulty for future development projects in obtaining required permits, which may stall or prevent a project from moving forward and could impact projects, including single family home construction, that are currently underway. The City Council could choose to adopt the proposed ordinance amendments. The need for amending City Code related to stormwater standards can be likened to updating the Zoning Code as a result of a Comprehensive Plan Update. The standards and goals of the MS4 permit program and 3rd Generation Plan (the LRRWMO's 3rd Generation Watershed Management Plan is their equivalent to a Comprehensive Plan) are implemented through the Zoning Code. Adopting these standards ensure the City is in compliance with both. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance amendments related to stormwater management. Funding Source: Preparation of the Ordinance is being handled as part of regular Staff duties. Council Action: Motion to introduce the Ordinance to amend Subdivision II and add Subdivision III to Chapter 117, Article II, Division of City Code related to stormwater management.
