Background Information:
The subject property is located at 2805 N. IH 35. The property is platted as Lot 3, Block 1 of the International Electric Corporation Addition subdivision. The site is zoned Light Industrial and the proposed project consists of adding fill to the site. This site is inundated by the 100-year floodplain and includes water quality zone. The project reclaims 100-year floodplain and water quality zone.
This site is a Qualified WPP2 because there is reclamation of floodplain and water quality zone. Qualified Watershed Protection Plans are subject to Planning and Zoning Commission approval and must meet the requirements of the Environmental Chapter of the Land Development Code, meet the requirements of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, and mitigate impacts to water quality zone. Since this project permit began prior to the 2018 code update, prior code requirements apply.
The proposed project meets the requirements of the Environmental Chapter of the Land Development Code.
The proposed project meets the requirements of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance including, providing a hydraulic analysis that shows no rise in the floodplain or rise contained within a drainage easement and showing that floodplain storage is not reduced.
Future development on the site will be required to remove 70% of the increased TSS, which mitigates water quality impacts. This will be noted on the Qualified WPP2 approval and also outlined in a restrictive covenant that will be imposed on the property.
