SDS 4.2.1 Intent.
Natural stream corridors and wetlands provide natural stormwater storage, channels, filtration, and flood control; they also successfully transition the natural landscape into the built environment. These riparian corridors shall be protected and naturally-enhanced to ensure they continue to function properly when surrounded by built environments.
SDS 4.2.2 Standard.
Streams, wetlands, and their riparian corridors shall be incorporated into developments as major amenities, with trails, seating, and appropriate supplemental vegetation. Buildings, parking areas, and other structures shall be set back from such features a sufficient distance to ensure their continued quality and natural function in accordance with 18.365 of the UDO.
SDS 4.2.3 Submittal Requirements.
As part of the submittal requirements for development, applicants shall evidence compliance with all applicable federal, state, and city laws and regulations related to preservation and protection of stream corridors and wetlands.
