Our official public comment period on the draft 2016 Stormwater Code ends on June 30, 2015. We will continue to take comments until we send final recommendations to the Mayor for transmittal to the City Council. Email correspondence is preferred.

If you’re suggesting a code change, include as much of the following information as you can:

  • Number and title of the code section (for example:  22.805.070.D.a)
  • Specific code language you’re suggesting
  • Explanation of why the code should be changed

We may not be able to respond to individual comments, but we will take all comments into consideration.

There will also be opportunities this summer to provide public comment on the draft 2016 Stormwater Manual.  A public meeting related to the 2016 Stormwater Manual will be held in late summer or early fall of 2015.
