This chapter is established to promote, preserve and enhance natural resources within the City of Brooklyn Park and protect them from adverse effects occasioned by poorly sited development or incompatible activities by regulating land disturbing or development activities that would have an adverse and potentially irreversible impact on water quality and unique or fragile environmentally sensitive land. This chapter minimizes conflicts and encourages compatibility between land disturbing and development activities and environmentally sensitive lands. By requiring detailed review standards and procedures for land disturbing or development activities proposed for such areas, this chapter achieves a balance between urban growth and development and the protection of water and natural resources within the city.
