Stormwater Guidelines and Requirements

Stormwater Guidelines for Green, Dense Redevelopment

On December 6, 2005 the Emeryville City Council adopted Stormwater Guidelines for Green, Dense Redevelopment: Stormwater Quality Solutions for the City of Emeryville. These guidelines outline ideas for meeting new stormwater treatment requirements using site design, parking strategies, and stormwater treatment measures to allow water to flow through plants and soil. Numeric requirements apply to development projects of an acre or more, and will apply to projects of 10,000 square feet or more as of August 15, 2006. The guidelines generally require vegetative stormwater treatment measures, and apply city-wide.
