Updated by FTC 112910 American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com Santa Barbara County Conditional Use Permit Application Page 8 A. Identify Low Impact Development (LID) 1 measures that will be incorporated into the project design to address long-term storm water runoff, after construction. Select at least one measure from each group listed below, or define constraints if not applicable. The same measure may apply toward more than one group (e.g. porous concrete with volume storage). Describe the selected LID measures below and depict on the site plan with a legend. 1. Group 1 - Site Layout/Setting: Reduce overall disturbance by conserving and protecting natural areas, drainages, topsoils, and vegetation and minimizing overall impervious areas. Measures include roadway/sidewalk/driveway design, lot layout, parking, clustering units, onsite storm water reuse, vegetated roof, permeable paving, etc. Development within the established development envelope is also an acceptable measure for Group 1. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Group 2 - Disconnect Impervious: Safely distribute runoff from impervious surfaces (e.g. roof downspouts, driveways, roads, etc.) to a variety of onsite pervious areas (e.g. open space, landscape, permeable pavement with base, etc.) _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Group 3 - Rate/Volume/Duration: Slow and reduce runoff using infiltration, evapotranspiration, detention, and/or rainwater reuse. Measures include: infiltration trench, infiltration basin, drywell, vegetated swales, bioretention (rain garden), buffer strips, landscape planter box, amended soils, deep-rooted large trees, permeable paving with storage, cisterns, rain barrels, dry wells, detention basins, etc. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ B. Describe measures that will be incorporated into the project design to remove pollutants from storm water runoff including pollutant reduction through source control/site design measures and treatment of runoff. Measures include: bioswales, buffer strips, bioretention (rain garden), detention basins, etc). 2 Show where adequate space is reserved for storm water treatment control measures on site plan. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 1 Low Impact Development is a design approach that minimizes or eliminates pollutants in storm water through natural processes and maintains pre-development hydrologic characteristics, such as flow patterns, onsite retention, and recharge rates.
