- Description:
- In March of 2005, the City adopted the Stevens Creek Watershed Master Plan, which included recommendations for City-wide stormwater standards that integrate water quality features with flood control facilities on new development sites in order to protect water quality and prevent stream erosion. These features, called "Site-Specific Structural Best Management Practices," were recommended to be implemented through a public-private cost share approach. This recommendation was based on the assumption that there is both a private and public responsibility relative to how these features function together as a system to address water quality and stream stability throughout a watershed.
- Following the adoption of the Master Plan, there was continued concern expressed about how these features would be incorporated into a development site and current standards. This project is comprised of three sub-projects each designed to demonstrate how water quality features can be incorporated into a development site. The two participating developments are Apple's Way and Artisan Meadows, west of 66th and Highway 2, and Village Gardens southwest of 56th and Pine Lake Road.
