LID opportunities in industrial, commercial and multi-residential types (view source)

, 6 years ago→Low-rise residential sites
On sites with larger green spaces LID practices that accept runoff from more substantial catchment areas will likely be feasible. Parks can be retrofitted with most LID options. Subsurface LID options like infiltration chambers can be used without sacrificing park function, while highly visible practices like bioswales or bioretention enhance the aesthetic value.

===Parking areas===
Parking areas on low-rise residential properties are often small and well used by residents. Low-rise apartment sites often have parking lots that are graded to catch basins which connect to onsite storm sewers. Due to their smaller, decentralized design, parking areas for townhouse developments typically convey runoff overland to internal roadways equipped with storm sewers.
Permeable pavement is a retrofit option for both types of parking facilities. Internal roadways can also be retrofitted with permeable pavement.
