The city recognizes that consequences of certain land use activities, whether intentional or accidental, may contaminate or degrade the quality of the ground water from which the public water supply is drawn. The purpose of this subchapter is to protect from and prevent the contamination or degradation of municipal ground water resources from certain land use activities by imposing appropriate restrictions upon lands located within the ground water recharge area of the municipal water supply. There is created by this subchapter, an overlay zoning ordinance, under which supplemental land use regulations, limitations and restrictions apply in addition to the land use restrictions contained in other chapters or chapters of this code. The restrictions imposed in this subchapter are in addition and supplemental to all other zoning and land use restrictions contained in this code.
