The existing land use code <br />addresses only stormwater destination (flood control). The proposed ordinance amends the land use <br />code to also address stormwater quality from new development via pollution reduction, headwater <br />flow control, oil control, and source control requirements as well as operation and maintenance <br />standards for stormwater facilities. <br /> <br />A companion design manual, the Eugene Stormwater Management Manual will be adopted <br />administratively. A public hearing on the manual is scheduled for June 8, 2006. Several comments <br />made during the City Council public hearing for the ordinance that pertain to the Stormwater <br />Management Manual have been forwarded for consideration at the public hearing on the Stormwater <br />Management Manual. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br />A City Council public hearing on this item was held Monday, May 8, 2006. The council raised <br />several questions regarding the applicability of the standards, the River Road - Santa Clara <br />Stormwater Basin Plan, and open drainage systems. <br /> <br />Nine persons testified at the public hearing and five pieces of written testimony were presented to <br />the council. The council moved to keep the public record open until May 22, 2006, to allow <br />submittal of additional written testimony. Following the close of the public hearing, ten additional <br />pieces of testimony were received. Staff responses to the council and public testimony are provided <br />in Attachment B.
