It is the purpose of this overlay zone to:
(a) Protect the water quality and quantity of the Upper Rock Creek and its tributaries, as well as the biodiversity situated in these resources. The resources consist of those tributaries of Rock Creek and the North Branch of Rock Creek north of Muncaster Mill Road in the Upper Rock Creek Planning Area.
(b) Regulate the amount and location of impervious surfaces in order to maintain levels of groundwater, control erosion, and allow the ground to filter water naturally and minimize the temperature and volume of stormwater runoff.
