The purpose of the RPO is to implement goals and objectives contained in the comprehensive plan related to protection of the area's important environmental resources, such as significant natural and archaeological features, water resources, and wildlife winter range and migration corridors, while still allowing property development in a manner consistent with its zoning designation and in a manner that offers the best protection possible to the designated resources. This overlay establishes procedures to enable the applicant and city to achieve the mutually compatible objectives of reasonable use of land and protection of vital resources. (Ord. 2846 § 1, 2008)
