Stormwater Development <br />Standards regulate the siting, design, construction, and maintenance of stormwater management facilities <br />applicable to the development of new and replaced impervious surfaces. Stormwater Development Standards <br />are a requirement of the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate <br />Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharge Permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental (DEQ), in order <br />to comply with the federal Clean Water Act. More information regarding the proposed Stormwater Code <br />Amendments can be found here: <br />https://www.eugene-or.gov/476/NPDES-Municipal-Stormwater-Permit <br />Procedures & Approval Criteria <br />On September 24, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public meeting and deliberated on the proposed land <br />use code amendments. After deliberating and reviewing public comments, the Planning Commission <br />unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to Stormwater Development <br />Standards. The City Council will hold its own public hearing on February 18, 2025. The City Council is then <br />scheduled to deliberate and make a final decision on the proposed amendment on March 10, 2025. <br />The Stormwater Code Amendments are being processed according to the City's Type V land use application <br />procedures in sections 9.7500-9.7560 of the Eugene Code (EC). The City Council will be the final local decision - <br />maker. In making its decision, the City Council will address the relevant approval criteria at EC 9.8065 for code <br />amendments. Testimony and evidence submitted to the City Council should be directed toward the applicable <br />approval criteria from the Eugene Code noted above, or other criteria in the City's adopted plans or land use <br />regulations that the person testifying believes to apply to the decision. <br />
