SECTION 2 - DESIGN STANDARDS <br />2.00 INTRODUCTION <br />This section provides design standards for public improvements (e.g., transportation, <br />wastewater, and stormwater systems), although it does not supersede or account for all <br />applicable local, state, and federal regulations, which are referenced and provided in the <br />appendices to the greatest extent practicable. <br />2.01 GENERAL <br />A. Construction Site Management <br />A Construction Site Management Plan (CSMP) is required for all public improvement <br />projects and shall be included with the set of public improvement project plans submitted <br />to the City for approval. The CSMP should describe both long- and short-term methods <br />for preventing a construction activity's impacts to water quality and on-site and adjacent <br />natural resources. The CSMP is a protection plan intended to illustrate measures for <br />shielding and covering specific site features, rather than a construction plan; the CSMP <br />does not authorize construction or impacts to waterways, trees, and other site features. <br />See Appendix A for required CSMP Notes and Plan Requirements. <br />B. Erosion Prevention <br />An Erosion Prevention Permit is required for all project areas that: (1) disturb one or more <br />acres; or, (2) disturb 500 square feet or more of land and is located in a "sensitive area" <br />as defined by the City Code. See Erosion Prevention and Construction Site Management <br />Practices Administrative Rule R-6.645" attached as Appendix A. <br />C. Floodplain Development <br />A Floodplain Development Permit is required prior to any development occurring within <br />the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The SFHA includes Zones A, AE, AO and the <br />Floodway for our community on the adopted Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The FIRM <br />was created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as part of the <br />National Flood Insurance Program. Development includes any man -made -change (e.g., <br />building, filling, excavating, grading, paving, etc.) within the regulatory floodplain. <br />Floodplain Development Permits can be obtained at the Permit and Information Center. <br />Public Improvement Design Standards Manual, 2016 Page 2-1 <br />
