Storm Sewer System Overview
> System mostly constructed prior to modern regulations for
flood protection
> Water quality treatment is not provided in most of the
system
> Design Goal Level of Service for Flood Protection:
> Major Streets (4 -lane roads) should be passable with water not
exceeding the crown of the road during a 10 -year flood event
➢ Residential streets and other 2 -lane roads should be passable with
water not exceeding the crown of the road during a 5 -year flood
event

Impervious Area History
1982 — Ord 90-82-74
Impervious Surface included in the definition for Lot Coverage. Lot Coverage included all areas of the lot
covered by principal and accessory uses and structures as well as impervious surfaces such as drives,
parking areas, walkways, swimming pools, patios, terraces, and the like.
➢ 35% maximum lot coverage for all residential districts
➢ 65% maximum lot coverage for Commercial Limited (CL)
➢ No maximum lot coverage for Commercial General (CG), Commercial Intensive (CI) and Light
Industrial (LIW)
- Ord 90-85-91
Driveways, parking areas, walkways, swimming pools, terraces and the like removed from lot coverage
definition due to prohibition off-street parking in front setbacks which made it nearly impossible to
meet the maximum 35% lot coverage requirement. Maximum lot coverage only accounted for areas of
the lot covered by principal and accessory uses and structures.
➢ 35% maximum lot coverage for all residential districts
➢ 65% maximum lot coverage for CL
➢ No maximum lot coverage for CG, CI, and LIW
Impervious Area History
1986 — Ord 90-86-113
Eliminated maximum lot coverage requirements in all residential zoning districts. It was mentioned by
the City Commission that the 35% maximum lot coverage requirement was unnecessary due to new
setback requirements that allowed for over 35% lot coverage. The belief was that setback requirements
would serve to control the amount of a lot covered by structures.
➢ No definition or restrictions on impervious surfaces existed in the City Code at this time.
1998 — Ord 90-98-167
Due to flooding and stormwater concerns, driveways, patios, decks and the like were added to the
definition of lot coverage. Additionally, a 50% maximum lot coverage requirement was created for all
residential zoning districts.
➢ 50% maximum lot coverage for all Residential districts
➢ No maximum lot coverage for CG, 0, and LIW

Impervious Area History
2001— Ord 90-01-172
An independent definition of impervious surface was added to the Code. Definition included rooftops,
sidewalks, patios, driveways, parking lots and similar surfaces. Swimming pools were not considered
impervious. The definition of lot coverage was changed to "the area of the lot covered by all impervious
surfaces."
➢ 25% maximum Impervious Surface for Conservation zoning
➢ 50% maximum Impervious Surface for Residential districts
➢ 70% maximum Impervious Surface for commercial and industrial zoning districts
2003 — Ord 90-03-184
Added "surfaces using pervious concrete or other similar open grid paving systems shall be calculated as
50% impervious" to definition of impervious surface due to advancements in paver and pervious
concrete technology. Lot coverage was still defined as the area covered by all impervious surfaces.
➢ 25% Maximum Impervious Surface for Conservation zoning
➢ 50% Maximum Impervious Surface for Residential districts
➢ 70% maximum Impervious Surface for commercial and industrial zoning districts, except that
maximum Impervious Surface did not apply to infill development or redevelopment of previously
developed sites. Stormwater management requirements were also required for infill development
and for redevelopment projects involving exterior site changes.
Impervious Area History
2006 — Ord 90-06-188
Due to pavers often being installed in a way that prevented permeability, the following language was
added to the definition of Impervious Surface:
➢ "Open grid pavers must be installed on a sand base, without liner, in order to be considered 50%
impervious. Solid surface pavers do not qualify for any reduction in impervious area, regardless of
type of base material used"
To address infill and redevelopment of residential Tots, the language below was also added to the
definition of Impervious Surface:
➢ "In such cases where a previously and lawfully developed residential lot or development project
exceeds the 50% limit, redevelopment or additions to existing residential development shall not
exceed the pre -construction Impervious Surface limit..."

Impervious Area History
2019 — Ord 90-19-238
In 2018, Commission considered reducing Impervious Area in residential districts to 40% due to
concerns from increased flooding potential. Final ordinance included:
➢ 45% maximum lot coverage for all residential districts
➢ Amended definition of Impervious Surface to include swimming pools at 50%
➢ No credit given for pervious pavers

Onsite Stormwater Storage History
2002 Stormwater Master Plan Update
➢ Topography of the City makes us sensitive to the volume of runoff discharged
➢ Concluded that new development and redevelopment could result in increases in the volume and
rate of stormwater runoff
➢ Modeled Hopkins Creek area with all developable area at 50% Impervious — Result was flood stages
in houses and buildings would be higher
➢ Recommended that the City regulate the peak discharge of stormwater from individual lots for a
100 -Year rainfall event
➢ Recommended onsite stormwater storage so that there is no increase in the rate or volume of
stormwater runoff offsite
➢ Alternatively, they suggested the City could require a fee -in -lieu of onsite storage. Fee would be
based on fair share of capital and annual costs for construction and maintenance of piping & storage
facilities. Fee would include cost of land acquisition
➢ Recommended the use of V=CAR/12 with runoff from IA = 100% and undeveloped = 20%

Onsite Stormwater Storage History
2003 — Ord 90-03-180
➢ Onsite storage implemented for a 25 -Year rainfall event
2012 Stormwater Master Plan Update
➢ Concluded that by far, the most cost-effective means of controlling stormwater runoff is at its source
- onsite storage
2018 Stormwater Master Plan Update
➢ Evaluated redevelopment resulting in partially reaching 50% total IA in residential areas of the city
by 2030 and totally reaching 50% IA by 2045.
➢ Concluded that there would be a substantial increase in average and maximum peak stage flood
conditions under these scenarios.
2019 — Ord 90-19-238
➢ All development and redevelopment which result in improvements that exceed 50% percent of the
market value of all improvements, if any, on the subject development parcel before the new
development or redevelopment project is started shall provide onsite storage of stormwater for all
impervious surface on the development parcel.
