Type: condition Title: Storm Water Impacts Description: This property drains to McMulen Creek, which is an impaired/degraded stream, and may contribute to downstream flooding. This project has the opportunity to mitigate future impacts to this stream, therefore, Storm Water recommends placing the following notes on the plan:
(I) Storm Water Quality Treatment
For defined watersheds greater than 24% built-upon area (BUA), construct water quality stormwater control measures (SCMs) designed for the runoff generated from the first 1-inch of rainfall for all new and redeveloped BUA associated with the project. SCMs must be designed and constructed in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual.
(II) Volume and Peak Control
For defined watersheds greater than 24% built-upon area, control the entire volume for the 1-year, 24-hour storm for all new and redeveloped BUA associated with the project. Runoff volume drawdown time shall be in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual.
For commercial projects with greater than 24% BUA, control the peak to not exceed the predevelopment runoff rates for the 10-yr, 6-hr storm and perform a downstream flood analysis to determine whether additional peak control is needed and if so, for what level of storm frequency, or if a downstream analysis is not performed, control the peak for the 10-yr and 25-yr, 6-hour storms.
For residential projects with greater than 24% BUA, control the peak to not exceed the predevelopment runoff rates for the 10-year and 25-year, 6-hour storms or perform a downstream analysis to determine whether peak control is needed, and if so, for what level of storm frequency.
Staff is available to discuss mitigation options prior to the rezoning plan approval should the project have practical constraints that preclude providing the above referenced stormwater management.
