CCW conference: Stormwater Financing Economic Impact AssessmentClean Water
Dan Nees, Environmental Finance Center
This presentation will provide results of an economic impact study conducted by the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland, College Park in partnership with the Business Economic and Outreach Network (BEACON) at Salisbury University. The study assessed the anticipated economic impact of urban stormwater management investments, focusing specifically on the local impact of practices required as part of the federally mandated Chesapeake Bay restoration effort. The study was conducted as part of a local stormwater financing project led by EFC with the support of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

Tradeport and Wetlands
POLICY 1.2.2: The Tradeport areas are commercial and industrial lands adjacent to the airport needed to accommodate projected growth through the year 2030. These areas will include
developments consisting of light manufacturing or assembly, warehousing, and distribution facilities; research and development activities; laboratories; ground transportation and airport related
terminals or transfer facilities; hotels/motels, meeting facilities; and office uses. Stand alone retail commercial uses intended to support and compliment the surrounding business and
industrial land uses are permitted if they are approved as part of a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) or Planned Development rezoning. Stand alone retail commercial uses are limited
to 1 acre out of every 10 Tradeport and preserved wetland acres within the project. To provide an incentive to preserve upland habitat, Developments of Regional Impact or Planned Developments
may also receive additional stand alone retail acres at the rate of 1 additional acre out of every 10 acres of preserved and enhanced uplands within the project that protect wetlands, flowways or
occupied listed species habitat. Ancillary retail commercial uses, related directly to the sale of products manufactured or services provided in the Tradeport, are allowed if they are part of a
Planned Development. Residential uses, other than bona fide caretaker residences, are not permitted in this category except to the extent provided in Chapter XIII of the Plan. Caretaker
residences are not permitted in the Airport Noise Zone B. Limerock mining may be approved through the Mine Excavation Planned Development rezoning process for the land designated
Tradeport on the Future Limerock Mining map (Map 14.) Because this area is located within the Six Mile Cypress Basin and is also a primary point of entry into Lee County, special
environmental and design review guidelines will be applied to its development to maintain the appearance of this area as a primary point of entry into Lee County. Property in Section 1 and the
east ½ of Section 2, Township 46 South, Range 25 East, and in Section 6, Township 46 South, Range 26 East, must be rezoned to a planned development zoning category prior to any
development other than the construction of essential public services. During the rezoning process, the best environmental management practices identified on pages 43 and 44 of the July
28, 1993 Henigar & Ray study entitled, “Groundwater Resource Protection Study” will be rebuttably presumed to be necessary to protect potential groundwater resources in the area.
(Amended by Ordinance No. 94-30, 02-02, 03-04, 04-16, 07-09, 09-06, 10-14, 10-20, 10-37)
OBJECTIVE 1.5: WETLANDS. Designate on the Future Land Use Map those lands that are identified as Wetlands in accordance with F.S. 373.019(17) through the use of the unified state delineation
methodology described in FAC Chapter 17-340, as ratified and amended in F.S. 373.4211. (Amended by Ordinance No. 94-30)
POLICY 1.5.1: Permitted land uses in Wetlands consist of very low density residential uses and recreational uses that will not adversely affect the ecological functions of wetlands. All development
in Wetlands must be consistent with Goal 114 of this plan. The maximum density is one dwelling unit per twenty acres (1 du/20 acre) except as otherwise provided in Table 1(a) and Chapter XIII of
this plan. (Amended by Ordinance No. 94-30)
POLICY 1.5.2: When the exact location of Wetlands boundaries is in question, Chapter XIII of this plan provides an administrative process, including a field check, to precisely define the
boundary. (Amended by Ordinance No. 94-30)
POLICY 1.5.3: Wetlands that are conservation lands will be subject to the provisions of Policy 1.4.6 as well as the provisions of Objective 1.5. The most stringent provisions of either category
will apply. Conservation wetlands will be identified on the FLUM to distinguish them from nonconservation wetlands. (Added by Ordinance No. 98-09)
