13. Site development shall not result in making existing adjacent parking areas iron -compliant with City <br />standards. <br />14. Compact parking stalls may not be applied towards code -required parking supply. <br />15. The City is in the process of adopting new stormwater standards, which are expected to become <br />effective on February 15, 2010. The actual effective date will be established by ordinance. Under <br />Section 15.28.010 EMC, an application for a land use permit or other project permit shall be <br />considered under the stormwater standards in effect on the date a complete land use or project <br />permit application is filed for that proposal. A complete land use application shall consist of all <br />items required under Section 15.20.020 EMC, plus a complete Stormwater Site Plan. A Stormwater <br />Site Plan is a comprehensive drainage report that provides the information necessary to <br />demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the City's Drainage Ordinance (Chapter 14.28 <br />EMC), consistency with applicable City stormwater management standards and policies, and is <br />stamped and signed by a professional civil engineer licensed in the State of Washington. <br />Requirements for Stormwater Site Plans are presented in the City's Stormwater Management <br />Manual. For more information, see Planning Director Interpretation No. PDI09-002. <br />16. A Construction Stormwater General Permit, administered by the Department of Ecology, will be <br />required for this project if it disturbs an acre or more of land. Additional information and application <br />forms can be found at www ecv wa aov/oroarams/wg/stormwater/construction. <br />17. Stormwater treatment is required when 5,000 s.f. or more of hydraulically -connected pavement is <br />created and/or redeveloped by the project. Treatment of stormwater runoff from hydraulically - <br />connected pavement must occur, per City standards, prior to discharge of the stormwater from the <br />site, or to a stream, wetland, or underground infiltration system. <br />If suitable soils exist on the site, low impact development (LID) techniques (e.g. permeable <br />pavement, bioretention areas, and dispersion through stream/wetland buffers) may be used to <br />avoid creating hydraulically -connected pavement from a stormwater treatment standard. <br />From a stormwater treatment standpoint, for a paved area to be considered hydraulically <br />disconnected, stormwater runoff from at least the 6-month, 24-hour storm must be fully retained <br />and/or infiltrated. <br />18.The options for treatment of runoff from hydraulically -connected pavement include: <br />a. An infiltration basin with pretreatment' if suitable soils exist on the site. <br />b. A wetpond. <br />c. A constructed wetland. <br />d. A stormwater technology with a General Use Level Designation (GULD) from the Washington <br />State Department of Ecology for either basic or enhanced treatment, with pretreatment. <br />19. Stormwater detention is currently required when 5,000 s.f. or more of hydraulically connected <br />impervious area is created by a project. <br />If suitable soils exist on the site, underground infiltration systems (e.g. infiltration trenches) or low <br />impact development techniques (e.g. splash blocks, permeable pavement, bioretention areas, <br />rainwater harvesting) may be used to avoid creating hydraulically -connected impervious area from <br />a stormwater detention standpoint. Section 3-2.2 of the City's Stormwater Management Manual <br />lists site and design criteria that must be met. <br />1 Acceptable pretreatment systems are either a wetvault or tank designed in accordance with City standards and <br />containing 30% of the 6-month, 24 hour storm as dead storage, or a pretreatment system that has obtained a <br />GULD for pretreatment from the Washington State Depa nt of Ecology. <br />al <br />
