Design Guidelines for Stormwater Compliance

New development and redevelopment projects are required to comply with the State's General Permit regarding stormwater runoff. The city uses the Permit, City Engineering Standards, and California Stormwater Quality Association's Best Management Practices Handbook for reviewing projects for compliance with the permit.
