4. The Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan shall address the following goals in
connection with the long-term operation of the proposed project:
a, Minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, impacts from storm wat\lr runoff on
the biological integrity of natural drainage systems and waterbodies in accordance
with requirements under CEQA, Section 404 of the Cle,an Water Act, local
ordinances and other applicable legal authorities.
b. Maximiie, to the maximum extent practicable, the percentage of permeable
surfaces to allow more percolation of stormwater into the ground;
7
6318
c. Minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, the amount of storm water directed
to impermeable areas and to the municipal separate stomi sewer system;
d. Miriimize, to the maximum extent practicable, parking lot pollution through the
use of appropriate BMPs such as retention, infiltration and good housekeeping;
e. Establish reasonable limits on clearing of vegetation from the project site
, including, but not limited to, regulation of the length of time during which soil
may be exposed and, in certain cases: the prohibition of bare soil; ,
f. Providb fOf appropriate permanent measures to reduce storm water pollutant loads
from the development site to the maximum extent practicable; and
g, Properly design and maintain'Treatment Control BMPs in a manner that does not
promote the breeding of vectors. '
5. Numerical Design Criteria: Post-construction Treatment Control BMPs for projects
must incorporate, at a minimum, either a volumetric or flow based treatment control
design standard, or both, as identified below to mitigate (infiltrate, filter or treat) storm
water runoff:
a) Volumetric Treatment Control BMP ,
(1) The 85th percentile 24-hour runoff event determined as the maximized c,apture
storm water volume for the area, from the formula recommended in Urban Runoff
Quality Management, WEF Manual of Practice No, 23/ ASCE Manual of Practice
No, 87, (1998); or
(2) The vohiine of annual runoff based on unit basin storage water quality volume, to
achieve 80 pe'rcentor more volume treatment by the method recommended in
Califorriia Stormwater Best Management Practices Handbook - Industrial!
Commercial, (1993); or ,
(3) The volume of runoff produced from a 0.75 inch storm event, prior to its
discharge to a storm water conveyance system; or
(4) The volume of runoff produced from a historical-record based reference 24-hour
rainfall criterion for "treatment" (0,75 inch average for the Los Angeles County area)
that achieves' approximately the same reduction in pollutant loads achieved by' the
85th percentile 24-hour runoff event. "
b) Flow Based Treatment Control BMP
(1) The flow of runoff produced from a rain event equal to at least 0.2 inches per hour
intensity; or '
(2) The flow of runoff produced from a rain event equal to at least,two times the 85th
percentile hourly rainfall intensity for Los Angeles County; or
(3) The flow of runoff produced from a rain event that will result in treatment of the
same portion of runoff as treated using volumetric standards above.
8
6318
6, Applicability of Numerical Design Criteria: The numeric design criteria listed above
shall apply to the following categories of projects required to design and implement post-
construction treatment controls to miti~ate storin water p'ollution:
a) Single-f~i1y hill~ide resid\\ntial developments of one acre or more of surface area;
b) Housing developments (includes single family homes, multifamily homes,
condominiums, and,apartments) often units or more;
c) A I()O,OOO square f~et or more itnpervious surface area industriall commercial
development; " . , ' , ._
d) Automotive service facilities (SIC 5013; 5014, 5541, 7532-7534 and 7536-7539)
[5,000 square feet or more Of surface area); ,
e) Retaii' gasoline outlets [5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area and
with projected Average Daily Tniffic (ADT) of 100 or more vehicles], Subsurface
Treatment Control BMPs which may endanger public safety (i.e" create an explosive
environment) are considered not appropriate;
f) Restaurants (SIC 5812) [5,000 square feet or more of surface area];
g) Parking lots 5,000 square feet or more of surface area or with 25 or more parking
spaces;
h) Projects located in; adjacent to or discharging directly to an Environmentally
Sensitive Area (ESA) that meet threshold conditions identified above; and
i) Redevelopment projects in subject categories that meet redevelopment thresholds.
Plan Review and Approval
I. Prior to the issuance of any building or grading pennit for a new development project
or redevelopment project, the City shall evaluate the proposed project's potentiaUmpact:
a. During construction activities to discharge pollutants to the storm sewer system and
the adequacy of the proposed Best Management Practices to mitigate such impact.
b. Of post-construction discharges of pollutants to the storm sewer system
c. Of how well the Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plans and Pollution Prevention
Plans and other supporting informant meet the goals of this chapter.
Each plill will be evaluated on its own merits according the site characteristics of each
project site. ,Plans submitted to the city for review must address the entire proposed
project area Based upon the review, the City Manager or duly authorized repres\\ntative
thereof may impose additional conditions on the issuance of the building of grading
permit in order to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the storm drain system.
2. The City Manager or duly authorized representative thereof may establish uniform
minimum standards and criteria for the application of such standards for treatment of
stonnwater, The provision of the section shall not prohibit the Director of Public Works
Services from requiring additional treatment to accomplish the goals of this section.
9
6318
,3. The City Manager or duly authorized representative thereof shall approve or
disapprove of the Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan of Pollution Prevention Plan within
30 days of submittal. If disapproved, the reasons for disapproval shall be giving to the
applicant in writing. Any plan disapproved may be revised and resubmitted for approval.
4, If no permit has been issued or no construction begun within 180 of approval of an
Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan or Pollution Prevention Plan, the Urban Stormwater
Mitigation Plan or Pollution Prevention Plan for that project shall expire. The City
Manager or duly authorized representative thereof may extend the time for action by the
applicant upon written request by the applicant showing the circumstances beyond the
control of the applicant prevented the construction from beginning.
