The following language is added to Appendix J of the Building Code to read as follows:

J109.5

It is unlawful for storm water on a lot to be diverted onto an adjected lot unless it is specifically designed to do so and provisions have been made for it to do so because of topographical conditions which do not allow for any other path of drainage. Stormwater drainage across lot lines is prohibited and all stormwater must be diverted onto the public right-of-way or into a private catchment system, or into the public storm drainage system. Drainage easements must be recorded where stormwater is to be diverted across lot lines.
