Design Goals
21
 Conserve natural resources that provide natural functions
associated with controlling and filtering storm water.
 Use decentralized, small-scale landscape features and LID
features to work as a system to:



Reduce the amount of runoff by mimicking the natural hydrologic
function of the site and matching pre-development hydrology.
Minimize the use of and/or reduce the size of pipe and other
centralized control and treatment infrastructure.
Lower the total cost of development when compared to traditional
infrastructure design.
 Minimize and disconnect impervious surfaces, lengthen
time of concentration and promote bio-filtration of runoff
to improve the quality of storm water leaving the site.

Design Goals
22
 Adhere to the City of San Antonio Complete Streets Policy
on all roadway components within project scopes.
 Use only native or drought-tolerant, non-invasive plants.
 Minimize or eliminate the use of potable water resources
for irrigation and where practical provide for the reuse of
rain water.
 Use enhanced quality of life values and reduced
maintenance costs inherent in LID practices to increase
marketability of the development and long term property
values.
