16.39.010 Purpose

The City of Canby recognizes significant wetlands as community assets that provide educational, recreational and aesthetic values, that contribute to the City’s long-term goals of sustainable community development. The Wetlands Overlay Zone (WO) is intended to be used in conjunction with any of the city’s underlying base zones (example: R-1/WO, C-2/WO, etc.) to assure that the future development of the site will provide ample protection for locally significant wetlands. The Wetlands Overlay (RO) zone implements the policies of the Canby Comprehensive Plan and is intended to resolve conflicts between development and conservation of riparian corridors identified in the City of Canby Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventory. (Ord. 905 sections 4, 1994)
