20.02.1031 - Stormwater open space.
"Stormwater open space" means a natural open area to be used to help manage storm water, reduce flooding risk and improve water quality as its primary purposes, while still permitting passive recreational use of the open space as secondary purposes to the area. Water, waste water, and stormwater utility systems within areas designated for stormwater open space shall be designed with environmentally sensitive infrastructure and constructed with a low impact development (LID) approach to the extent permitted in the city's subdivision regulations. Any area designated as stormwater open space shall require the approval of the floodplain administrator, shall conform to the master stormwater management plan and open space master plan of the city, and shall be shown within the boundaries of any required land study, subdivision plat, detailed site development plan, master zoning plan, SmartCode regulating plan, or any other platting or zoning document as may be required by the city.
