Description: Since the GIS data was developed for planning purposes and use in publication of maps and/or database creation, the data is for illustrative purpose only and is not suitable for parcel specific decision making.
Therefore, the GIS data presented herein are approximations and further land development determination is at the discretion of the PRMD planning staff which may require a parcel specific site review (to draw parcel specific conclusions).
The Riparian Corridor Combining Zone (RC) zoning combining district dataset represents the geographical area established to protect biotic resource communities, including critical habitat areas within and along riparian corridors, for their habitat and environmental value, and to implement the provisions of the General Plan Open Space and Resource Conservation and Water Resources Elements. These provisions are intended to protect and enhance riparian corridors and functions along designated streams, balancing the need for agricultural production, urban development, timber and mining operations, and other land uses with the preservation of riparian vegetation, protection of water resources, floodplain management, wildlife habitat and movement, stream shade, fisheries, water quality, channel stability, groundwater recharge, opportunities for recreation, education and aesthetic appreciation and other riparian functions and values. - - - - Sec. 26-65-010. Applicability. The RC combining zone shall be applied to designated streams and include the stream bed and bank and an adjacent streamside conservation area on each side of the stream as measured from the top of the higher bank. The minimum streamside conservation area shall be shown in the zoning database followed by the minimum setback for agricultural cultivation (e.g., RC 100/50). Where the drip line of existing riparian trees with trunks located wholly or partially within the streamside conservation area extends beyond the streamside conservation area boundary, as indicated in the zoning database, the boundary shall be increased to include the outer drip line of the riparian trees. (Ord. No. 6089, 2014). - - - - Sec. 26-65-020. - Determination of streamside conservation areas and setbacks for agricultural cultivation. The streamside conservation area indicated in the zoning database is approximate to allow for a parcel-specific determination of the boundary based upon the location of the top of the higher bank and existing riparian vegetation. The streamside conservation area shall be determined by the director. The setback for agricultural cultivation indicated in the zoning database is also approximate to allow for a site-specific determination of the boundary based upon the location of the top of the higher bank, existing riparian vegetation, and, for upland areas of 50-foot riparian corridors, the slope and soil types of the planting area. The setback for agricultural cultivation shall be determined by the agricultural commissioner. (Ord.
