Status Comments/Explanation
Prevention
The current UDO does not contain specific language to require or encourage low impact development; therefore, it is encouraged in practice rather than by regulation. With the expected addition of stormwater staff in the coming years, this will be incorporated into our overall stormwater program. Ongoing collaboration with the City of Raleigh and support of efforts to better the water supply system and search for regional supply solutions. The Town also participates in the Wake County One Water effort to address regional water supply. The Town's emergency preparedness plan follows the Wake County for routes. The Town's 2018 Transportation Plan does encourage and promote interconnectivity. Town has inventory of all structures in regulatory floodplains per the newest flood maps. Will continue expand inventory to contain structures in non- regulatory flood prone areas.
Evaluate the need for regulations to encourage use of low impact development site planning principles to help control stormwater volume impacts.
