Site Development Plans

Plans and supporting documentation for SDP applications must be prepared and submitted per LDC Article 3, Section 3.3.7.  The review is administrative, and once all the staff comments have been adequately addressed, an approval letter is issued with instructions for obtaining work authorization.

Development in the Downtown CRA Area:
The first phase of the CRA Stormwater Master Plan has also been implemented on Lafayette Street.  The Stormwater Master Plan project significantly improves water quality in the South Cape.  This is another opportunity for public/private investment to facilitate redevelopment in the South Cape by providing an alternative to the installation of conventional onsite water management treatment facilities.
