(A) For off-site construction activities that provide services such as road extensions, sewers, water, and other utilities to a permitted site, the off-site activity areas must be considered a part of the permitted project site when the activity is under the control of the project site owner.
(1) A determination of the area of land disturbance on single-family residential project sites shall be calculated by adding the total area of land disturbance for improvements, such as roads, utilities, or common areas, and the expected total disturbance on each individual lot, as determined by the following criteria:
(a) For a single-family project site where the lots are ½ acre or more, a minimum of ½ acre of land disturbance or the actual area to be disturbed, whichever is greater, must be used as the expected lot disturbance.
(b) For a single-family, residential project site where the lots are less than ½ acre in size, the total lot must be calculated as being disturbed.
(2) Determination of the area of land disturbance on all other types of project sites, such as multi-family residential, industrial, and commercial project sites, shall be calculated by adding the total area of land disturbance for improvements, such as roads, utilities, or common areas, and the expected total disturbance on each individual lot, as determined by the following criteria:
(a) Where lots are 1 acre or greater in size, a minimum of 1 acre of land disturbance or the actual area to be disturbed, whichever is greater must be calculated as the expected lot disturbance; and
(b) Where lots are less than 1 acre in size, the total lot must be calculated as being disturbed.
(3) For purposes of this subchapter, strip developments:
(a) Are considered as 1 project site; and
(b) Must comply with this subchapter, unless the total combined disturbance on all individual lots is less than 1 acre and is not of a larger common plan of development or sale.
(C) Large individual residential project sites are regulated by this subchapter in accordance with the following requirements:
(1) Submittal of a notice of intent, or submittal of a construction plan, is not required for construction activities associated with a single-family residential dwelling disturbing less than 5 acres, when the dwelling and the project site are not a part of a larger common plan of development or sale; and providing the project site owner complies with the provisions in divisions § 53.025(C)(1) through (C)(5), § 53.025(C)(10) through (C)(17), § 53.025(C)(19) and (C)(20) and with § 53.026 of this subchapter throughout construction activities and until the areas of activity are finally or permanently stabilized in accordance with this subchapter.
