§ 34-96. Purpose.

The purpose of this article is to manage stormwater runoff from development sites to increase the flood protection of the city by decreasing peak flows and increasing stormwater storage through the implementation of stormwater runoff control in the form of site runoff storage facilities.

As it is not the intent of the city to restrict the use of land for the sole purpose of storing excess stormwater, or to increase development costs, the drainage scheme presented by those who wish to develop property in the city and its area of planning jurisdiction should be planned to accomplish all of the stormwater controls set out in this article without major loss of land use.
