DRAINAGE
Is storm-water runoff regulated?
Yes, some form of drainage detention is required for all development that increases the impervious cover of a site. A regional detention facility is usually provided in new residential subdivisions, while detention is typically provided on-site for multifamily and nonresidential developments. In general, the rate of storm-water runoff after development cannot exceed the rate of storm-water runoff before development. In all cases, the drainage system must be designed by a professional engineer and approved by the city engineer.
