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.
