Sensitive lands include landfill gas buffer areas, which comprise closed or operating landfills and the areas of potential landfill gas migration surrounding them. Development within landfill gas buffer areas, as established by Interim Guidelines for Development within City Designated Landfill Buffer Zones of the City Environmental Health Department and as shown on the Official Zoning Map, shall follow the Interim Guidelines to mitigate health hazards due to methane and other byproduct gases. All development within a landfill gas buffer requires a Landfill Gas Mitigation Approval pursuant to Subsection 14-16-6-4(S)(5) to ensure that potential health and safety impacts are addressed.
