§ 8204-5. Drainage facilities and right-of-way.

The design of a subdivision shall conform to the Ventura County Flood Plain Management Ordinance and shall provide for the proper drainage of the subdivision and all lots and improvements therein based on the runoff that can be anticipated from ultimate development of the watershed in accordance with the General Plan. The subdivision shall contain no undrained depressions. The subdivision and all lots and improvements therein shall be protected from off-site drainage or flood damage. All public facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems shall be located, elevated and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage. Any concentrations or increases of surface water resulting from the development of the subdivision must be conveyed by means of adequate facilities to a suitable natural watercourse in the area. If any channels included in the Ventura County Flood Control District Comprehensive Plan of Flood Control Channels lie within the parent parcel, the design shall depict all those channels and all rights-of-way reasonably necessary for their improvements and maintenance. Such rights-of-way shall include, in addition to the channels themselves, an access route at least 18 feet wide alongside the entire length of open channels and at least 10 feet wide directly over the entire length of underground channels.
