Stormwater Plan Review

Stormwater Plan Submittal Requirements

A stormwater plan covers the design, construction, and maintenance of stormwater practices on the site including stormwater control measures (SCMs). Stormwater management approvals are reviewed by the Stormwater Program Manager or designee and may be reviewed concurrently with the City of Statesville Planning Department Technical Review Committee (TRC) review and approval process.

Development and redevelopment projects require a stormwater management plan if they cumulatively disturb one acre or more or add 20,000 square feet or more of BUA. The stormwater management plan requirement also applies to projects that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale that, in total, disturb one acre or more or add 20,000 square feet or more of BUA. For redevelopment projects, increased stormwater controls are required only for the amount of BUA being created that exceeds the pre-existing BUA.

The Stormwater Ordinance and the City of Statesville Drainage Design Manual detail the process and what is required to be submitted for complete applications for review. The Concept Plan Application-Form A and Stormwater Plan Application-Form B have checklists of items required for submittal.
