Bureau of Watershed Protection
Regulating Land Development

Regulating land development and the resulting impervious surfaces has a direct effect on the health of our watersheds. The Bureau of Program Performance is responsible for site development policy and plan review in compliance with city codes for land development and post-development stormwater management. This includes:

• Site development plan review within the building permit process -- land disturbing activities; erosion control; and post-development stormwater management (multi-family/commercial)
• Sewer capacity certification
• Site development policy: plan review checklists; hydrology studies for post-development stormwater management; and compliance with applicable city codes and state laws
