Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Zoning Code
Sec. 5-30. - Requirements prerequisite to issuance of certain building permits.
(a)   Prior to the issuance of any building permit for the construction or expansion of an apartment building or any commercial or industrial building or related blacktopping, or for any residential building where no previous building permit has been issued in the subdivision unit in which said residential lot is located from the date of the enactment of this section, the director, division of building inspection shall:
(1)   Obtain a certificate from the urban county engineer that such construction, including related blacktopping shall not materially cause stormwater damage. In areas where stormwater problems are known to exist, including but not limited to floodplains, areas of alluvial soils, and environmentally sensitive areas, the urban county engineer may require a stormwater study. Based on that study, additional stormwater management features may be required. The stormwater study shall be prepared in conformance with the Division of Water Quality Stormwater Technical Manual by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Kentucky.
(2)   If deemed necessary, certify upon consultation with the director, division of traffic engineering, that curb cut regulations have been complied with, and that the construction and related property use will not unreasonably interfere with traffic flow.
(b)   No building permit for the construction of any structure that will require connection to the urban county government sanitary sewer system or the re-modeling or expansion of any existing structure that will result in an increase in sanitary sewer usage shall be issued unless the division of building inspection can verify via the urban county government's database or evidence provided by the applicant that a sanitary sewer capacity permit as defined in subsection 16-302(q) has been issued for the subject property or a waiver has been granted because the project is a remodeling project as defined in subsection 16-302(p).
