City of Hermosa Beach
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 15-1351
Ordinance No. 15-1351 amends Chapter 8.44 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to low impact development (LID) and stormwater and urban runoff pollution control. Specifically, the ordinance updates the existing Chapter 8.44 to include new provisions as required under the Municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES Permit). The ordinance replaces the development planning provisions of the 2001 NPDES Permit, also termed SUSMP, with the 2012 Permit LID requirements. The most significant changes in the ordinance revising Chapter 8.44 are related to new development and redevelopment projects-these planning and land development provisions for stormwater management are commonly referred to as low impact development provisions or LID. Proposed new development and redevelopment projects subject to LID will be required to retain a certain amount of stormwater onsite through infiltration, bioretention and/or rainfall harvest for non-potable use onsite (e.g., in cisterns). Projects will not be allowed to address stormwater runoff via treatment alone as was often done under SUSMP without first demonstrating that it is technically infeasible to retain the design storm runoff onsite. The ordinance also repeals conflicting and redundant provisions in the Green Building Standards in Chapter 15.48. All new development or new building construction in the City of Hermosa Beach will be required to comply with the LID requirements regardless of the area of impervious surface or acreage disturbed, consistent with the existing storm water provisions of Chapter 15.48 Green Building Standards that are being rescinded. A full copy of Ordinance No. 15-1351 is available for review in the City Clerk’s office.
