Alternative Action Options: <br />The City Council could choose not to adopt the proposed ordinance The proposed amendments are intended to <br />bring the City into compliance with the requirements of its MS4 permit and the LRRWMO's 3rd Generation Plan <br />and are the minimum standards necessary to do so. Failure to adopt these amendments may create difficulty for <br />future development projects in obtaining required permits, which may stall or prevent a project from moving <br />forward and could also impact projects, including single family home construction, that are currently underway. <br />The City Council could choose to adopt the proposed ordinance The need for amending City Code related to <br />stormwater standards can be likened to updating the Zoning Code as a result of a Comprehensive Plan Update. The <br />standards and goals of the MS4 permit program and 3rd Generation Plan (the LRRWMO's 3rd Generation <br />Watershed Management Plan is their equivalent to a Comprehensive Plan) are implemented through the Zoning <br />Code. Adopting these standards ensure the City is in compliance with both. <br />The Ordinance was introduced at the February 12, 2013 City Council meeting and is now eligible for adoption. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance related to stormwater <br />management. <br />Funding Source: <br />Preparation of the Ordinance is being handled as part of regular Staff duties. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to waive the City Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud; <br />-AND- <br />Motion to introduce the Ordinance to amend Subdivision II and add Subdivision III to Chapter 117, Article II, <br />Division of City Code related to stormwater management. <br />Roll Call Vote: <br />Councilmember Tossey <br />Councilmember Riley <br />Councilmember LeTourneau <br />Councilmember Backous <br />Councilmember Elvig <br />Councilmember Kuzma <br />Mayor Strommen <br />Attachments <br />Proposed Ordinance <br />Draft Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Dated January 31, 2013 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Len Linton Len Linton 02/20/2013 01:35 PM <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 02/20/2013 03:58 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 02/21/2013 08:30 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 02/20/2013 10:58 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 02/21/2013 <br />
