Can a catch basin be used as a storm sewer cleanout? Can a roof downspout connection be considered a storm sewer cleanout? Thanks.

Yes, catch basins can be used as a storm sewer point of cleanout.
Typically, storm drain lines are larger in size to accommodate a larger
volume of water..........Unfortunately, the potential for trash, debris &
other to enter the storm sewer drain lines is quite high.............A roof
downspout connection can also be used, as an access point for a
high pressure, water jetting hose to be inserted in to the drain
line.

Thank you, north star. I thought that was the case, as it would be logical. But i couldn't find a code section to back it up. Thank you!

2021 IPC 1101.8 Storm drain Cleanouts Required
Cleanouts shall be installed in the storm drainage system and shall comply with the provisions of this code for sanitary drainage pipe cleanouts.
Exception: Subsurface drainage system.

It does not say, catch basins can or cannot be used as a storm drain cleanout.

Mark, ...respectfully, but in my world, a catch basin
will serve as a point to access the storm drains ( i.e. -
a clean out ).

Oregon uses the uniform plumbing code as its model code, so unfortunately those specific sections will not be helpful. Chapter 11 does also happen to cover storm drainage as well. For cleanouts it references 719. Here's a link if you need specific code references:
