Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.02 establishes that no permit may be approved or issued unless the applicant has first satisfied all requirements set out in Chapter 16 of the Code, which governs storm water management, erosion control, and wetlands protection. This rule creates a compliance prerequisite — the relevant environmental standards must be met before any permit moves forward. The provision applies broadly to any permit subject to this chapter, making Chapter 16 compliance a mandatory gateway step.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.02, property owners and managers seeking permits for development or construction in Bloomington must ensure that all Chapter 16 requirements related to storm water management, erosion control, and wetlands protection are satisfied before a permit can be approved. Compliant operators typically review Chapter 16 standards early in the planning process, prepare any required storm water or erosion control plans, and submit documentation demonstrating compliance alongside their permit applications. Failing to address these environmental requirements will result in the permit being held until compliance is achieved.

Section 15.02 of Bloomington's Code of Ordinances means that any permit affecting a rental property — such as one for construction or site work — cannot legally be issued until the property owner has met the storm water, erosion control, and wetlands requirements of Chapter 16. Tenants who observe unpermitted site work or environmental disturbances near their housing may find this provision relevant when raising concerns with local authorities. Tenant-rights organizations or the City of Bloomington's relevant permitting office can be consulted to understand how this requirement may intersect with housing conditions.
