What matters for project planning
For this trade the stormwater department is simply not part of the conversation, and saying so is more useful than manufacturing a link. Local historic-district information is the record that matters, and in Gastonia it points at the textile-era neighborhoods: on a designated property, windows are among the exterior elements most closely reviewed, and that review can reach sash configuration, material and profile rather than merely thermal performance -- sometimes with an expectation that original sash is repaired rather than replaced. None of that applies to an undesignated house on the same street, so confirm status by address rather than by how the block looks.

Verify the property, not just the city
Citywide context cannot establish a parcel’s flood zone, historic designation, stream buffer, permit requirements, soil conditions, or concealed construction. Get those specifics confirmed directly with the local authority and whichever provider you choose, before any work starts.
