The purpose of this district is to expand upon the community development objectives associated with environmental protection and preservation of natural resources as expressed in § 1250.02 by:
(a) Conserving and protecting those areas having steep slopes from excessive and inappropriate development;
(b) Preventing development that would cause excessive erosion and consequently promote increased flood crests and associated hazards both upstream and downstream;
(c) Protecting the quality of stream water that would be threatened by excessive grading and development in the Steep Slope Conservation District; and
(d) Protecting the natural vegetative cover in the Steep Slope Conservation District, thereby reducing runoff and flooding potential.
