storrnwater management.
A. Maintain Predevelopment Conditions.
Development (including, but not limited to alteration or modification
of a site) shall be implemented in such a manner as to preserve the pre -development direction, rate
and flow characteristics of stonnwater run-off. With regard to sites with positive outfall, the post -
development rate of runoff shall not be greater than the pre -development condition. With regard to
sites without positive outfall or in closed basins, the post -development rate and volume of runoff shall
not be greater than the pre -development condition. The term "development" is used as intended in

Florida Statutes, which is a comprehensive definition.
B. Provide Necessary Facilities. All development shall provide for such
water retention and settling structures and flow -attenuation devices as may be necessary to
ensure compliance with all City regulations.
C. Nonstructural Approach Preferred. When practicable , the nonstructural approach
shall be used to meet both surface water quantity and quality regulations requirements.
D. Stand -Alone Systems. The drainage system for each phase of a development shall comply
with meet the r-equirements ^r these regulations. Such systems shall be functionally
independent and not tied to -future development. They may also provide for future (unbuilt)
phases of the development project -
E. Upstream Runoff. Run-off from adjacent properties shall not be blocked by site
development. The drainage system for each development shall be designed to
accommodate existing upstream runoff.

surface water flow pattern. When consistent with Sound and generally accepted engineering
ZD
practices and principles drainage sub -basin boundaries shall
be maintained.
G. Steep Ditches Prohibited. Open drainageways with slopes of greater than three to one (3:1)
0-1
are prohibited and unlawful.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Q�A*ty Commission
PREPARED BY: Sabreena Colbert, Senior Planner
SUBMITTED BY: Norton N. Bonaparte, Jr., City Manag6r
SUBJECT: Modifications to Schedule 0, Drainage, Easements and Site
Preparation/Excavation Requirements; Ordinance No. 4599
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront
❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture
Update Regulatory Framework
F-1 Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities
SYNOPSIS:
Approve the modifications to Schedule 0, Drainage, Easements and Site Preparation/Excavation
Requirements, to be incorporated into the City's Land Development Regulations. This will provide
for improved stormwater management practices in order to protect the public health, safety and
welfare of Sanford and its citizens and property owners. The changes are set forth in proposed
Ordinance No. 4599.
FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT:
There is no cost to implement the new regulations. The improved drainage will benefit property
owners as well as the City. Language has been added for clarity and to provide for the protection
of the City with regard to private disputes between property owners, flooding and requirements
relative to easements and the granting of other legal rights to the City.
Public and private development and redevelopment projects in the City are required to meet
general criteria in order to preserve the pre -development direction, rate and flow of storm water
run-off.
On February 6, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed modifications
and recommended the City Commission adopt an ordinance to approve the revisions to Schedule
O. Given the extensive nature of the changes proposed, members of the development community
along with engineering professionals were given the opportunity to provide comments and
feedback at a meeting that was held on August 4, 2020.
