(A) The watershed overlay districts impose an additional layer of regulations over existing zoning requirements. When a conflict occurs between the zoning district standards and the overlay district standards, the more restrictive shall prevail. Under no situations will development be permitted in designed drinking supply watersheds that violate the Water Supply Watershed Rules as adopted by the State Environmental Management Commission.
(B) It is not the intent that these regulations interfere with any easement, covenants, or other agreements between parties. However, if the provisions of these regulations impose greater restrictions or higher standards for the use of a building or land, then the provisions of these regulations shall control.
(C) All land use activities shall be regulated by the watershed protection regulations in designated drinking supply watersheds except existing development, as defined in § 151.01, is not subject to the requirements of this chapter. Expansions to structures classified as existing development must meet the requirements of this subchapter; however, the built-upon area of the existing development is not required to be included in the density calculations.
