Land Development Ordinance - Amended 6-3-2024

ii. Maintain Pre-Development Hydrologic . Requiring that new development and redevelopment maintain the pre-development hydrologic response in their post- development state as nearly as practicable for the applicable design storm in order to reduce flooding, stream bank erosion, nonpoint and point source pollution and increases in stream temperature, and to maintain the integrity of stream channels and aquatic habitats.

iii. Minimum Post-Development Stormwater . Establishing minimum post- development stormwater management standards and design criteria for the regulation and control of stormwater runoff quantity and quality.

iv. Design & Review Criteria . Establishing design and review criteria for the construction, function, and use of engineered stormwater control measures (SCMs) that may be used to meet the minimum post-development stormwater management standards. v. Better Management & Site Design Practices . Encouraging the use of better management and site design practices, such as the use of vegetated conveyances for stormwater and the preservation of green space and other conservation areas to the maximum extent practicable. vi. Long-Term Responsibility . Establishing provisions for the long-term responsibility for and maintenance of engineered stormwater controls (SCMs) to ensure that they continue to function as designed, are maintained appropriately, and pose no threat to public safety. vii. Administrative Procedures . Establishing administrative procedures for the submission, review, approval and denial of stormwater management plans, for the inspection of approved projects, and to assure appropriate long-term maintenance. viii. Requiring that new development not exceed export targets for nitrogen in stormwater runoff for the watershed through site layout, engineered stormwater controls, or permanent nutrient offset credits. ix. Coordinate with Open Space Plan & Planned Unit Developments . Coordinating site design plans that include open space and natural areas within Planned Unit Developments, and the “Fuquay - Varina Open Space Plan” .
