(A) The purpose of the SA District is to designate and describe those areas within the county that possess physical and/or environmental characteristics which require special public consideration of use applications which might affect the structure or the land; the management of surface or subsurface water; safety of future land occupants due to increased fire or storm hazards from the proposed development; or the uneconomic extension of public facilities and services. Of specific concern is development in flood prone areas, areas of steep slope, wetlands and other sensitive areas requiring careful assessment prior to alteration.
(B) It is the intent of these regulations to permit the use of property, while requiring design solutions which will avoid detrimental impacts on sensitive natural areas, as well as provide protection from adverse natural forces and hazards. Standards for said design solutions shall be as adopted within this subchapter.
