is hereby amended to read as follows: <br /> Development which would increase the volume or rate of discharge due to any storm <br /> from the subject property shall not be permitted in areas designated as critical areas as per EMC <br /> 37.040, or in an adopted basin plan. Critical areas are those in which existing flooding, <br /> drainage, erosion and/or instability conditions present an imminent likelihood of harm to the <br /> welfare and safety of the surrounding community, or to the integrity of the surface water or <br /> groundwater system. Development shall not be permitted in these critical areas until such time as <br /> the existing community hazard is alleviated and it is adequately demonstrated that the proposed <br /> development will not cause a recurrence of the problem nor the occurrence of any new drainage- <br /> related problem. The City Engineer may also designate as critical any area in which comparable <br /> problems would occur in the future due to any increase in volume or peak discharge. The <br /> requirements of this section shall apply regardless of any other City regulation. Where <br /> applications of the provisions of this section will deny all reasonable use of the property, the <br /> restrictions on development contained in this section may be waived for the subject property, <br /> provided that the resulting development shall be subject to all the remaining terms and condition <br /> of this ordinance. All decisions based on the provisions of this section shall be compatible with <br /> the comprehensive drainage plan for the basin in which the subject property is located. For <br /> development in areas designated as critical,the developer shall provide information regarding <br /> volume and rate of discharge for a range of storms as specified in the City of Everett Stormwater <br /> Management manual. <br /> SECTION 5: CITY ENGINEER REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF REQUIRED PLANS. <br /> Section 5 of Ordinance 2196-97 (EMC 14.28.400) remains in effect and is not amended by <br /> this ordinance. <br /> SECTION 6: ESTABLISHMENT OF REGIONAL FACILITIES. <br /> Section 6 of Ordinance 2196-97 (EMC 14.28.410),which reads as follows: <br /> In the event that public benefits would accrue due to modification of the drainage <br /> plan for the subject property to better implement the recommendations of the basin plan, the <br /> 31 <br />
