Comply, at aminimum, with the current municipal National Pollutant DischargeElimination System requirements for peak flow, stormwater quality, andrunoff volume and hydromodification.New development shall provide adequate public services and facilities asdetermined through the development review process.Update the 1996 Capital Improvement Deficiency Study (CIDS) for the<strong>Saticoy</strong> and <strong>Wells</strong> Communities.4.8-9<strong>City</strong> of <strong>Ventura</strong>
