The common term 'site' (lower case 's') is defined as “a place of activity” and is commonly used to describe a property or location of development or operations.

The regulatory term 'Site' (capital 'S') is by definition “the bounded area described in your plan”. When the ordinance states the performance standard “is to be achieved on the Site”, this distinction becomes critical.

Based upon the definition, the plan preparer has discretion in defining the Site. The following guidance is intended to help plan preparers chose an appropriate Site boundary.

The Site must include: * New impervious surfaces (any created after August 22, 2001) * Redeveloped impervious surfaces * Disturbed areas

The Site may include: * Any lands under the control of the site owner(s). Stormwater easements or other conveyances of rights to manage stormwater may constitute control.

The Site cannot include: * Any lands not under the control of the site owner(s).
