ARTICLE S: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Sec. 7-6-400 General Findings.

The Chesapeake Bay is one of the most productive estuaries in the world, providing substantial economic and social benefits to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Healthy state and local economies are integrally related to and dependent upon the health of the Chesapeake Bay. The general welfare of the people of the Commonwealth depends upon the health of the Bay.

The waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries have been degraded significantly by point source and nonpoint source pollution, which threatens public health and safety and the general welfare.

Appropriate land use regulations and construction and maintenance practices have proven ability to reduce pollution that damages water quality of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

Sec. 7-6-401 Purpose.

A. It is the policy of the City of Alexandria, Virginia, to protect the quality of water in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries and, to that end, to require all land uses and land development in the city to:
B. To fulfill this policy, these regulations are adopted to minimize potential pollution from stormwater runoff, minimize potential erosion and sedimentation, reduce the introduction of harmful nutrients and toxins into state waters, maximize rainwater infiltration while protecting groundwater, and ensure the long-term performance of the measures employed to accomplish the statutory purpose.

Sec. 7-6-402 Authority.

These regulations are issued under the authority of Section 10.1-2108 of Chapter 21, Title 10.1 of the Code of Virginia (the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, hereinafter "the Act"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Board, and section 10.1-603.3 of the Code of Virginia, which authorizes the city to adopt a local storm water management program. Authority to protect water quality is also provided by section 15.1-489 of the Code of Virginia.

Sec. 7-6-404 Administration of Article.

A. The Director of Transportation and Environmental Services is charged with the responsibility for the administration of this article.

B. Duties and Authority. In the administration of this article the Director's duties and authority shall include, without limitation:
(2) reviewing applications to determine if they contain all information required and necessary for a determination of their merit; (3) reviewing applications to determine their compliance with the provisions and intent of this article and their merit; (4) docketing items for hearing before the planning commission and conferring with the city manager to schedule public hearings before the city council as necessary on applications; (6) interpreting the provisions of this article to ensure that its intent is carried out.

C. Rules, Regulations and Procedures. The Director shall promulgate rules, regulations and procedures for the administration and enforcement of this article and shall promulgate rules, regulations and procedures for the processing of applications that ensure full review, comment and recommendations on each application by the department of transportation and environmental services. The city manager shall promulgate rules and procedures for review by other departments of applications, where such review is determined to be necessary or desirable and such procedures may include the establishment of a development review committee composed of departments of the city whose expertise is necessary or desirable in the review of applications. All such rules, regulations and procedures shall be transmitted to the city council at the time of issuance.

D. Establishment of Fees. The Director shall by general rule approved by city council establish a schedule of fees required for each application under this article to be paid at the time an application is submitted.

E. Responsibility for Enforcement. The Director shall have the authority and the responsibility pursuant to article L of this chapter to ensure that all buildings and structures and the use of all land complies with the provisions of this article.

F. The Director shall review, approve, disapprove, or approve with modifications or conditions or both the following elements of the plan of development:

(1) The environmental site assessment, required pursuant to section 7-6-416. (3) The water quality impact assessment, if required pursuant to section 7-6-418. (4) Compliance of the plan of development with sections 7-6-409, 7-6-410, 7-6-411, 7-6-412 and 7-6-413. G. Review and decision on the remaining elements of the plan of development shall be as provided in the regulations of this code applicable to each such element.

H. Review and decision on applications for exceptions shall be as provided in section 7-6-420.

I. Review and decision on applications for exemptions shall be as provided in section 7-6-423.

Sec. 7-6-405 Designation of Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Overlay District.

A. All land within the corporate limits of the City is designated as a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area ( CBPA). The CBPA is divided into resource protection areas and resource management areas. The regulations set forth in this article shall apply as an overlay district, and shall supersede any land use or land development regulation of this code which is inconsistent with the provisions of this article.

B. Resource Protection Areas (RPAS) consist of sensitive land adjacent to or near the shoreline that has either an intrinsic water quality value due to the ecological and biological processes such land performs or that is sensitive to uses or activities such that the use results in significant degradation to the quality of state waters. In their natural condition, these lands provide for the removal, reduction, or assimilation of nonpoint source pollution entering the bay and its tributaries. An area of land that includes any one of the following land types shall be considered to be within a RPA:
(2) Nontidal wetlands connected by surface flow and contiguous to tidal wetlands or tributary streams; (5) Buffer areas 100 feet in width located adjacent to and landward of the components listed in subsections 1-4 above, and along both sides of any tributary stream. Specific exceptions and standards for buffer requirements are set forth in sections 7-6-409 and 7-6-411.

C. Resource Management Areas (RMAs) include land that, if improperly used or developed, has a potential for causing significant water quality degradation or for diminishing the functional value of a RPA. Therefore, all lands in the City, not included in an RPA, shall constitute a RMA since all such land drains through natural (e.g., streams) or manmade (e.g., stormwater sewers) channels to the Potomac River.

Sec. 7-6-406 Incorporation of CBPA Map.

A. The CBPA map, dated January 28, 1992, and signed by the Mayor and Director, prepared in accordance with the above designation criteria which define the boundaries of RPAs and RMAs is hereby incorporated by reference into the Alexandria City Code.


18


B. The boundaries of RPAs and RMAs are drawn on the map based on the rebuttable presumption that the lands within those boundaries meet the respective RPA and RMA designation criteria. In the event of conflict between the CBPA map and the designation criteria in section 7-6-405, the designation criteria shall be controlling. The Director may exercise judgment in determining site-specific boundaries based on more reliable field data provided by the applicant or staff and examined during the plan of development review process.

Sec. 7-6-407 Development and Uses Permitted in RPAs.

If the water quality requirements of sections 7-6-409, 7-6-410, 7-6-412 and 7-6-413 require a smaller BMP or do not require a BMP, the water quality volume treatment requirement may be waived or modified by the Director for single-family residences separately built and not part of a subdivision, including additions to existing single-family detached residential structures, and for sites not exceeding one-half acre of disturbance. The Director may waive this requirement if stormwater detention would conflict with the City's flood management programs.

C. Post-development concentrated surface waters shall not be discharged on adjoining property, unless an easement expressly authorizing such discharge has been granted by the owner of the affected land.

D. The owner or developer may continue to discharge storm water which has not been concentrated (sheet flow) into lower lying property if:

(1) The peak flow rate for a 10-year storm after development does not exceed the predevelopment peak flow rate: (2) The increase in total volume of runoff caused by the development will not have an adverse impact on the lower-lying property; and (3) There will be no exacerbation of existing drainage problems on the lower-lying property, or other downstream property. E. The stormwater management plan shall contain maps, charts, graphs, tables, photographs, narrative descriptions, explanations, calculations, and citations to supporting references as appropriate to communicate the information required by this article. At a minimum, the stormwater management plan must contain the following:

(1) Location and design of all planned stormwater control devices; (2) Procedures for implementing non-structural stormwater control practices and techniques; (3) Pre- and post-development nonpoint source pollutant loadings with supporting documentation of all utilized coefficients and calculations; (4) Pre- and post-development peak runoff rates from the site for both a two-year storm and ten year storm, considered individually, with supporting documentation of all utilized coefficients and calculations; (5) For facilities, verification of structural soundness, including a professional engineer certification as applicable;

F. Site specific facilities for phased projects shall be designed for the ultimate development of the contributing project watershed based on zoning, comprehensive plans, local public facility master plans, or other similar planning documents.

G. All engineering calculations must be certified by a professional engineer and performed in accordance with procedures, consistent with good engineering practice, established by the Director pursuant to section 7-6-404(C).

H. The plan shall establish a long-term schedule for inspection and maintenance of stormwater management facilities that includes all maintenance requirements and persons responsible for performing maintenance. If the designated maintenance responsibility is with a party other than the City of Alexandria, then a maintenance agreement shall be executed between the responsible party and the City.

Sec. 7-6-422 Noncomplying Use Status and Related Matters.

A. Any land use or land development lawfully existing on January 28, 1992, and any land use or land development for which a final site plan, approved on or before January 28, 1992, continues in force and effect, which does not comply with the provisions of this article, shall be deemed a noncomplying land use or land development. A noncomplying land use or land development, if not lawfully existing on January 28, 1992, may retain its noncomplying status and be constructed without compliance with this article and in accordance with its approved final site plan, any minor amendments thereto approved by the Director, and any non-minor amendments thereto approved by the planning commission or city council, as applicable, so long as such non-minor amendments do not, individually or in the aggregate, cause either a net increase in impervious surface or any additional encroachment into RPA over the level of imperviousness or encroachment associated with the land use or land development as previously approved; provided, that any such non-minor amendments shall comply with the provisions of this article to the maximum extent feasible. If existing or when constructed, a noncomplying land use or land development shall be permitted to continue indefinitely and shall be considered a legal land use or land development, but shall be subject to the following restrictions:

B. Unless deemed a noncomplying land use or land development under subsection A, or unless granted an exemption pursuant to section 7-6-423, any land use or land development subject to this article which is the object of any land use, land development or construction permit application, including a renewal or extension application, pending before any department, board or commission of the city, before the city council, or on judicial review on January 28, 1992, or thereafter filed with any such department, board or commission, shall comply with the provisions of this article.


33


C. Unless deemed a noncomplying land use or land development under subsection A, or unless granted an exemption pursuant to section 7-6-423, any land use or land development subject to this article which is the object of a land use, land development or construction permit approval in force and effect on January 28, 1992, shall comply with the provisions of this article. Any renewal or extension of any such approval shall comply with the provisions of this article.

D. For purposes of this section, a land development for which a special use permit has been issued under section 7-6-28(i), -30(k), -31(k), -35(m) or -44(h) of this code and recorded among the land records of the city prior to January 28, 1992, and for which no final site plan is required to be filed subsequent to the recordation of the permit, shall be considered as being the object of a final site plan approved prior to January 28, 1992.

Sec. 7-6-423 Determination of Undue Hardship Exemption.

A. Upon application, the Director may exempt from the provisions of this article a specific development which, on January 28, 1992, is the object of an approved preliminary site plan, including a preliminary site plan approved along with a special use permit granted under section 7-6-355, whenever the Director finds that the applicant has demonstrated that full application of the provisions of this article would result in undue hardship under the standards set out in subsection B; provided, that the provisions of subsection G shall apply to any development for which an exemption is granted under this section.

B. Standards. In considering whether an applicant has demonstrated undue hardship, the Director shall consider the following standards where applicable:
34
C. The fact that the property has been or is in a particular zoning classification under this chapter, or any prior zoning ordinance of the city, or that a specific development plan has or has not been approved, shall not, in itself, establish undue hardship.

D. Any person, firm, or corporation having an ownership interest in property may file an application for a determination of undue hardship. Such application shall be filed with the Director, shall contain a recital of the facts which are claimed to support the application, and shall contain such other information as the Director may specify.

E. A reasonable opportunity for written public comment on an application shall be afforded by the Director.

F. Within 30 days after the close of the comment period, the Director shall issue a decision on the application and shall serve the same by certified mail on the applicant and any commentors who have so requested. Such decision shall contain written findings of fact and, if applicable, conclusions of law.

G. In granting an exemption pursuant to this section, the Director shall require that the previously approved development comply with the provisions of this article to the maximum extent feasible.

H. Nothing in this section shall be construed as excusing a land development granted an exemption pursuant to subsection A from any of the conditions imposed in conjunction with the development's preliminary site plan approval, or any other approval, including where applicable those imposed by this code, and any exemption shall itself be conditioned upon the satisfaction of all such conditions not waived or modified by the Director.

I. A land development granted an exemption pursuant to subsection A may retain its exemption and be constructed in accordance with its approved preliminary site plan and the provisions of this article imposed by the Director pursuant to subsection G, with any minor amendments to that site plan approved by the Director, and with any non-minor amendments thereto approved by the planning commission or city council, as applicable, so long as such non-minor amendments do not, individually or in the aggregate, cause either a net increase in impervious surface or any additional encroachment into RPA over the level of imperviousness or encroachment associated with the land development as previously approved; provided, that any such non-minor amendments shall comply with the provisions of this article to the maximum extent feasible.
