16.54.020 Environmentally sensitive/ critical areas defined.
Environmentally sensitive/critical areas are those areas described or referenced in this chapter as wetlands, flood hazard areas, aquifer recharge areas, geologically sensitive areas, or habitat conservation areas. The approximate locations and type of most environmentally sensitive/critical areas are designated on the official zoning map of the city of Lacey and environmental maps referenced or contained within the city Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Plan. However, environmentally sensitive/critical areas not shown on maps are presumed to exist in the city of Lacey and the Lacey urban growth area and are protected under all the provisions of this chapter. In the event of a conflict between designation shown on the zoning map, referenced environmental maps or specific criteria defining an environmentally sensitive area set forth in this chapter or Chapter 14.28, 14.33, 14.34, 14.36 or 14.37 LMC, the criteria shall control. (Ord. 935 §3 (part), 1992).
