Natural Resources Inventory Required

The Town requires a Natural Resources Inventory for new and redevelopment projects. Please bring a completed inventory form and supporting documents to concept meetings with the Engineering Department.

This information will help determine natural resource requirements such as a flood study and stormwater and environmental plan requirements of the initial development petition.

If you have already attended your concept meeting and are preparing your first development petition, contact Heather Keefer at (919) 557-3938 or at stormwater@hollyspringsnc.us. This applies to major residential subdivision plans, master plans, special exception uses, development plans and planned unit development master plans.
