The stormwater ordinance change brings Harrisonburg’s rules into compliance with state requirements. The city requires developers to post bonds covering public infrastructure and erosion-control work, but Council delayed updating those amounts so staff can research rates used elsewhere. Two rezoning requests and a city property lease ordinance were approved on second reading.
