Redevelopment

What is redevelopment?

Redevelopment is the replacement of impervious surfaces on a developed site. Redeveloped occurs when existing facilities are demolished and rebuilt or substantially improved through reconstruction.

What basic requirements must redevelopment projects must comply with?

In the City of Spokane, all redevelopment projects must comply with all of the Basic Requirements.

When may a redevelopment project deviate from the Basic Requirements?

A project may be granted a design deviation when site conditions prevent full compliance with the Basic Requirements of the SRSM; however, every effort should still be made to find creative ways to meet the intent of the Basic Requirements of the SRSM. Design deviations will generally not be granted waiving stormwater requirements for new impervious surfaces. The local jurisdiction may allow the Basic Requirements to be met for an area with equivalent flow and pollution characteristics within the same site.

Special conditions may apply to the Moran Prairie and Five-Mile Prairie Special Drainage Districts. See SMC Section 17D.060.130 and consult the City of Spokane for details.
