The Public Works Director may reduce or modify the requirement for a stream buffer zone for projects which will not result in disturbance of the land or where on-site conditions clearly demonstrate that the site is not now occupied by riparian habitat vegetation and would not effectively respond to riparian re-vegetation. An applicant requesting such a waiver shall submit sufficient information to substantiate the request to waive the requirement. (as added by Ord. #08-01-02, Feb. 2008, and amended by Ord. #015-01-01, February 2015, and Ord. #O24-06-18, July 2024)
