1 Ordinance Implementing LID through Amendments to Landscape Regulations Ordinance #9 CITY OF MOUNTLAKE TERRACE ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, WASHINGTON, IMPLEMENTING LID THROUGH AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT AND SITE BUFFERING WHEREAS, urbanization has led to increased impervious surface areas and reduced tree canopy coverage, resulting in increased surface water runoff and less percolation to groundwater aquifers. These conditions have caused the transport of pollutants to downstream receiving waters; and WHEREAS, the City of Mountlake Terrace has authority to proactively manage stormwater within its jurisdiction under the National Pollution Elimination Discharge System (NPDES) Permit for Phase II Cities; and WHEREAS, the NPDES Permit is administered by the Washington State Department of Ecology with the intent of achieving the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 goal of ensuring that all public waters are fishable and swimmable; and WHEREAS, the Department of Ecology is requiring all Western Washington cities to review, revise and make effective local development-related codes, rules, standards, or other enforceable documents to incorporate and require LID principles and LID BMPs to be in compliance with the National Pollution Elimination Discharge System (NPDES) Permit for Phase II Cities; and WHEREAS, Low Impact Development, which calls for infiltrating water at or near its source, is recognized by the Washington State Department of Ecology as being better able to control surface water runoff and control for fluctuations in water than more traditional methods of stormwater management; and WHEREAS, the City Council intends to comply with the NPDES Permit by adopting the proposed code updates; and WHEREAS, implement of LID in residential areas requires a new approach to managing rainwater and urban runoff, mitigating the negative impacts of development and urbanization, and also preserving property values by ensuring that expected densities can be achieved in conjunction with implementation of LID principles; and WHEREAS, LID is already a component of the Comprehensive Plan, the Sustainability Plan, and the Transportation Master Plan; and

2 Affecting New Trees, Associated Vegetation, and Bioretention Page 2 of 10 WHEREAS, State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review was performed on the proposed amendment and a Determination of Non-significance (DNS) was issued on October 7, 2016, which has not been appealed; and WHEREAS, in accord with the requirement set forth in RCW 36.70A.106, the City provided the Washington State Department of Commerce notice of the City s intent to adopt the proposed ordinance on October 19, 2016 for its 60-day review and comment period; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on November 14, 2016 and has forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed amendments; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on December 19, 2016, considered the proposed code amendment and the entire record, including recommendations from the Planning Commission, and found the proposal to be consistent with the criteria in MTMC C for amending the zoning code and with the Growth Management Act; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed regulations will make LID the preferred and commonly used method for stormwater management within the City, as required by the Department of Ecology; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed amendments are consistent with the City s Comprehensive Plan and other goals and objectives of the City; and WHEREAS, MTMC C sets forth three criteria, including consistency with the City s Comprehensive Plan, for amending the zoning code and both the Planning Commission and City Council considered whether the proposed zoning code amendments met each of the criteria; and WHEREAS, the Growth Management Act of the State of Washington (GMA) contains goals and requirements, such as consistency with the local Comprehensive Plan, that pertain to zoning code amendments and the proposed zoning code amendments in this ordinance are consistent with the GMA; and WHEREAS, the adoption of this Ordinance will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare within the City of Mountlake Terrace.
