What size project must comply with the impervious surface area requirements?
The development project must contain at least one acre of “vehicular surface area” which, by definition in the statute, includes: “means of ingress and egress to the area where passenger vehicles are parked” and “any median, traffic island, or other traffic control device or structure contained wholly within the vehicular parking area.” Therefore, the “vehicular surface area” will usually be much larger than just the area reserved for vehicle parking spaces. Covered parking areas or multilevel parking areas are not affected by the statute. Buildings, patios, and walkways will not be included in the “one acre” determination.
