Stormwater-related Comprehensive Plan and Code Amendments
Adopted: September 19, 2011 (see Water Quality and Quantity Page for details)
Ecological Growth Element:
Ecological Growth Planning integrates needed policy and code changes resulting from the other project elements and will result in proposed revised regulatory and land use policies and measures, including: changes to the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable Plans and Codes; to include policies and measures to protect water quality and quantity and ecology; and to explore incentive based strategies, such as transfer of development rights.
Protection measures may include such tools as: low impact development requirements; revised stormwater management BMPs; planning and regulatory requirements to protect unique wetland features, such as flooded forests and blueberry bogs; incentives; and other tools to address environmental impacts of growth.
The Study Area for any land use measures resulting from the various Project Elements is the Florence Urban Growth Boundary.
