located on Tax Lot 33. The applicant once again cites the previous 1984 Planned Unit Development documentation as reason to apply Goal 5 protections to this portion of the site. While these historic documents have important context, the applicant's assertion that they should be a primary basis for expanding the resource area fails to provide substantive evidence that the resources were still significant at the time of the analysis and adoption of the Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation Plan in 2005. The applicant also references documentation of some species that are known to be an indicator for the existence of hydric soils and sometimes wetland or riparian resources. However, the applicant fails to provide maps or professional scientific evidence to demonstrate these facts. While the applicant supplied ample historic evidence of riparian or wetland resources, they failed to provide documentation that the resources remained and were of value to meet the threshold set by the processes outlined in the Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation Plan. The applicant did not supply any other evidence, mapping, or ecological science that would constitute a sound reason to correct the mapping for resources E75 B-1 or WKZ-5B on Tax Lot 33 based on an error made at the time the mapping occurred. The applicant's arguments and evidence, the most salient points of which are evaluated above, attempt to demonstrate several reasons the City should have identified a greater area of the subject sites as protected on the Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation Plan Map. However, based on the provided application materials and above findings, it is determined that the City did not err in its identification of the resources' locations as shown on the Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation Plan Map. DECISION Based on the available information and evidence, and the preceding findings of compliance with applicable approval criteria under EC 9.4960(3)(b), the applicant's request is DENIED.
