FISCAL IMPACT <br />While these proposed amendments are merely designed to incorporate necessary <br />references with respect to complying with established thresholds, and requiring the <br />submission of formal site plans in the event a stormwater management plan is <br />required, staff had previously identified compliance with these new State required <br />standards will impose additional costs for development projects and require <br />additional staff resources. <br />Workload for Current Planning and Erosion Control staff to review and approve <br />stormwater management plans required by the rules is expected to increase. <br />5 <br />
