Each stream has a <br />Conservation Area that extends 40 feet back from the Top of High Bank. In these Conservation <br />Areas uses and development are severely restricted in order to protect the resources. See EC <br />9.4930(2) (Uses Permitted) and 9.4930(4)(Uses Prohibited), There is a third category of uses - <br />those are "Uses Subject to Standards Review." See EC 9,4930(3). Standards Review lists a <br />number of uses in the Conservation Area that are permitted, subject to performance standards <br />regulating how they are done, Standards Review is typically a Type it process, but here it is <br />consolidated with the tentative PUD application. <br />The Applicant proposes development in the Conservation Area in several places in connection <br />with its development plan. The Staff Report, at page 55, summarizes what uses are proposed in <br />the Conservation Area, and uses from the list of Standards Review items, authorize its proposed <br />development. The Staff Report says: <br />EC 9.4930(3) identifies the uses that are permitted within the /WR conservation <br />areas, subject to Standards Review. Sheets 7.1 and 7.4 shows areas of impact to <br />the /WR setbacks and resources. Staff notes that impact areas 7, 8 and 9 are not <br />subject to standards review since the areas (shown as Reach 3 and Reach 4) do <br />not included protected Goal 5 water resource areas. Based on the project <br />description and as shown on Sheets 7.1 and 7.4, the proposal is requesting <br />approval of Standards Review under the following subsections of EC 9,4930(3): <br />(b) Construction of public improvements (including but not limited to streets, <br />bridges, paved bikeways and pedestrian paths, and public utilities. Subject to <br />EC 9,4980 /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone Development <br />Standards (1) through (11). <br />The proposal requests Standards Review for impact areas 1-3, S and 10 under <br />this allowance. <br />(h) Discharge of stormwater collected from impervious surfaces into a wetland <br />or stream within the /WR conservation area, if the following standards 1. <br />through 4.'are met: <br />The applicant is requesting Standards Review to allow discharge of stormwater <br />into streams within the /WR conservation area. <br />(j) Construction of a private access road where no other point of access is <br />available except through the /WR conservation area of a Category A, B, C or D <br />stream or a Category A, B, or C wetland, and where the number of stream or <br />wetland crossings is the minimum necessary for the approved use.
