From Land Development Ordinance:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Blue Line Streams are onsite and have a 50ft stream buffer measured from top of bank on each side. Any possible features must be identified for stream buffers. If features are either intermittent or perennial, a 50ft stream buffer measured from top of stream bank is required. No new BUA is allowed within the entire 50ft stream buffer.<\/SPAN>Zone 3 covers the outermost 50 feet of the 100-foot perennial stream buffer under the high-density option. No new built upon area is to be placed in this zone. (See 30-12-4 for additional requirements concerning stream buffers in the WCA)<\/SPAN>The city shall issue an approval for new development only if the development application proposes to avoid impacts to stream buffers defined in this ordinance, or if the application proposes to impact such a buffer, and it demonstrates that the applicant has done the following as applicable:<\/SPAN><\/P>

  1. General<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

    1. 1. All watercourses that lie within the city or within or adjacent to developments provided with city water or sewer service pursuant to the water and sewer service agreement (WSSA) that will carry a flow of 5 cubic feet per second or more during a 10-year storm, as calculated in accordance with the city\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Storm Drainage Design Manual<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/A>, must provide drainageway treatment in one or more of the 3 ways listed in 30-12-8.1(B), 30-12-8.1(C) and 30-12-8.1(D), below. Except where 30-12-8.1(A)2) leaves the determination of the drainageway treatment to the developer, the Technical Review Committee is authorized to determine the treatment methods to be used, based upon the pipe size necessary to handle drainage and adopted Drainageway and Open Space Plan or Maps and the following factors:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

      1. a. the type of development;<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/OL>

        1. b. the drainageway treatment employed by nearby developments;<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/OL>

          1. c. the probability of creating a lengthy greenway or drainageway and open space;<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/OL>

            1. d. the probability of creating future maintenance problems;<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/OL>

                  1. 2. If the area is not identified on the Drainageway and Open Space Plan or Map and would require less than a 66-inch diameter pipe in a 100-year storm event, the developer is authorized to determine the drainageway treatments, in a manner consistent with the regulations of this subsection.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/OL><\/LI><\/OL>
