Stormwater Management Implementation Advisory Group
This group provides recommendations regarding how best to balance the need for stormwater management and flooding protection with development and redevelopment opportunities.
The duties of the Stormwater Management Implementation Advisory Group shall be to:
- Further review the topic of stormwater management and its impact and consequences on land use and redevelopment issues.
- Identify whether there are any opportunities, advantages, or disadvantages to strengthening regulation alignment and specificity based on the City's varied drainage basins, and a property's land use and zoning characteristics.
- Formalize a cost-sharing program relative to stormwater infrastructure and policy to include developing criteria for cost-sharing eligibility.
- Determine whether there are any opportunities to advance/incentivize Council-adopted policy and/or planning objectives, such as:
- Affordable housing.
- The preservation and enhancement of our City's tree canopy and open spaces.
- Enhanced water quality.
- More sidewalks and paved paths.
- Utilization of nature- based stormwater management practices in addition to grey infrastructure solutions.
- Implementation of regional stormwater solutions.
- Strategic and resilient approaches to redevelopment in our City's Strategic Growth Areas and in areas of our City that are less at-risk of flooding and that do not abut neighborhoods or environmentally sensitive areas.
- Other preferred land use approaches, through stormwater management.
