The provisions of this overlay shall apply to all development that may physically alter lands located within the resource protection overlay as designated on the official city of Pocatello zoning map, comprehensive plan natural features overlay map, and/or other maps as referenced and incorporated or as amended. All development plans shall be designed to reduce potential disturbance to any protected resources, through the use of buffers, conservation easements, and creative land development techniques. The overlay specifically applies to designated natural and archaeological features; wildlife habitat protection areas; streams and other open waters, including the Portneuf River; wetlands; and riparian areas. Each area of protection shall be designated on the appropriate map by means of outlining, color change, etc. In the event of overlapping standards the most restrictive shall apply. The boundary lines of any specified areas shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on each applicable map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the line or where there appears to be a conflict between the mapped boundary and actual field conditions, an interpretation may be requested according to the terms of section 17.02.180 of this title.
