§ 105-158. Off-site drainage facilities.

(a)

The director may allow stormwater runoff that otherwise is of unacceptable quality or which would be discharged in volumes or at rates in excess of those otherwise allowed by this article, to be discharged into drainage facilities off-site of the development, provided the applicant has demonstrated:

(1)

Off-site drainage facilities and channels leading to them are designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with requirements of this article;

(2)

Adequate provision is made for sharing of construction, maintenance and operating costs of facilities. The developer may be required to pay a portion of the cost of constructing facilities as a condition to receiving approval of the stormwater management plan; and

(3)

It is not feasible to completely manage runoff on-site in a manner that meets the design and performance standards in the city's stormwater management manual.

(b)

A request to use off-site facilities and all information related to proposed off-site facilities should be made part of the developer's stormwater management plan. Guidelines for consideration of off-site facility use may be defined in the city's stormwater management design manual.
