14.34.150 Wetlands management.
In order to avoid, to the maximum extent possible, the short and long term adverse impacts associated with the destruction or modification of wetlands, especially those activities which limit or disrupt the ability of the wetland to alleviate flooding impacts, the city will:
A. Review proposals for development within base floodplains for their possible impacts on wetlands located within the floodplain;
B. Ensure that development activities in or around wetlands do not negatively affect public safety, health, and welfare by disrupting the wetlands’ ability to reduce flood and storm drainage;
C. Require compliance with the city wetland protection ordinance (Chapter 14.28 LMC), habitat conservation protection ordinance (Chapter 14.33 LMC), tree and vegetation protection ordinance (Chapter 14.32 LMC) and applicable environmental plans and regulations. (Ord. 1505 §42, 2017; Ord. 1375 §29, 2011; Ord. 861 §2 (part), 1989).
