In order to implement the goals and objectives of the City of Stockton's General Plan, and to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges, the City Council has determined that a Storm Water Control Criteria Plan is needed. All projects that require municipal approval for the division of land and construction of improvements in accordance with Section 16-001 or construction in accordance with Section 14-100 shall be subject to the following requirements.

B. Definition of evaluation criteria to ensure that the BMPs can be rated in a comparative manner and that the pollutant reduction credit assigned is consistent with the City's storm water management goals and objectives.
C. Definition of eligibility standards, procedures, and administrative practices to ensure that storm water pollutant prevention credits (SWPPC) resulting from the implementation of the selected BMPs are real, permanent, and surplus.
