BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL AMENDING CHAPTER 14.02
OF THE CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE, REVISED,
TO PROVIDE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT PROVISIONS OF THE
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT
The City Council of the City of Campbell does ordain that Sections 14.02.010,
14.02.020, and 14.02.030 of Chapter 14.02 of the Campbell Municipal Code,
Revised, are amended to read as follows:
14.02.010 Purpose
(b) The purpose of this chapter is therefore to provide minimum requirements
designed to control the discharge of pollutants into the city municipal storm drain
system and to assure that discharges from the city municipal storm drain system
comply with applicable provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act and the current
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. CAO029718
including amendments and California Regional Water Quality Control Board
approvals. Enactment of this chapter falls within the scope of the city police
power to protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents. Nothing in this
chapter is intended to preclude more stringent federal or state regulation or any
activity covered by this chapter.
14.02.020 Definitions
"Deemed complete" means that a project applicant has submitted a development
application package for discretionary approval that is determined to be a
complete and acceptable application by the Community Development Director.
Public projects are deemed complete if funding has been approved by the City
Council and construction has been scheduled.
"Impervious surface" means a constructed or modified surface that does not
allow rainfall to percolate through to the subsoil and thus creates stormwater
runoff. Impervious surface includes, but is not limited to, building rooftops,
pavement, sidewalks, patios, driveways or other hardscape where such surfaces
are not constructed with pervious materials and/or are not designed so as to
have zero stormwater discharge.
"Major development or redevelopment project" means a project that creates,
adds, or replaces an amount of impervious surface as defined in the current
NPDES permit.
"Project with significant pollution potential" means any project determined by the
city to be likely to have sources of pollutants on-site and/or to contribute
pollutants to stormwater after project completion, based on a review of the
proposed uses of or activities planned for the site.
14.02.030 Requirements
(e) New DevelopmenURedevelopment
(1) Stormwater Management Required for Major Projects. Every applicant for
a building permit and/or grading permit for a major development or
redevelopment project shall identify the potential for stormwater to be
discharged from the project site following completion of construction
activity and shall demonstrate that the plans, drawings or specifications
for such project include the installation of management techniques,
practices, and control measures designed to mitigate the potential
adverse impacts of stormwater that may be discharged from the project
site on an ongoing basis including stormwater treatment measures. In
addition, applicants for building and/or grading permits for projects with
significant pollution potential may be required to demonstrate that sources
of pollutants will be controlled onsite with appropriate measures. The
stormwater management techniques, practices, and control measures
shall be selected, designed, and maintained in accordance with the city's
current NPDES permit requirements and the city's Stormwater
Management Manual.
(2) Issuance of Permits. The city shall not issue a building permit and/or
grading permit for a major development or redevelopment project or a
project with significant pollution potential until it has reviewed the
mitigation measures proposed by the applicant pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, where appropriate, and determined that they are sufficient to
address the potential adverse impacts of stormwater that may be
discharged from the project site on an ongoing basis.
(3) Occupancy. The building official shall not issue a certificate of occupancy
or other equivalent permit for a major development or redevelopment
project or a project with significant pollution potential until it has
determined that the mitigation measures identified in the building permit
and/or grading permit issued for such project have been adequately
implemented and that appropriate arrangements have been made to
ensure that these management techniques, practices and control
measures will be maintained on an ongoing basis in accordance with the
city's current NPDES permit requirements and the city's Stormwater
Management Manual.
