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.

    • Project narrative describing how stormwater will be addressed.

    • Stormwater BMP maintenance and repair plan.
    • Design checklist for any proposed infiltration practices (e.g. bioretention cell).
