§ 74-516. Minimum requirements.

For all development and redevelopment activities, including single-family residential and those which are otherwise exempt from this article, the following minimum requirements shall apply:

(b)

The stormwater discharge from a downspout, cistern, or any water collection device shall be located a distance of no less than ten feet from common property line and oriented so direction of concentrated flow is not toward the adjacent property line;

(c)

Discharge from any downspout described in (a) must be dissipated, infiltrated, or diverted such that flows will not be concentrated; and

(d)

No person shall erect, construct, or otherwise permit any obstruction that prevents the natural or contained flow of water to any component of the stormwater system of the City of Atlanta, unless such obstruction is allowed as part of a permit approved pursuant to this article.
