A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is required for all subdivision and site plan applications, and certain conditionally-permitted uses, and shall be consistent with the Stormwater Management Regulations described in Chapter 8:3.6 of the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance.
Submittal Guidelines
Who needs to submit a SWMP?
Site Plans and Subdivision Applications:
An electronic version and one hard copy must be submitted for review and approval, at time of initial development application.
Conditional Use Permits:
Most Conditional Use Permits require compliance with Chapter 8:1.23 of the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance. An electronic version and one hard copy must be submitted for review and approval. The timing of submittal of a SWMP for Conditional Use Permits is dependent upon the supplemental conditions outlined in Chapter 8:1.23. Please refer to this chapter to determine if your CUP is subject to the Environmental Requirements of Chapter 8:3 and the timing of submittal of plans required by Chapter 8:3.
