17.5.2 Recommended Conservation Measures (Goal 5 Program) <br /> The OARs require local governments to "develop a program to achieve Goal 5" (660- 023 -0040 <br /> (5)), which must include some action (e.g. adopted land use regulations, zoning standards, <br /> acquisition, etc.) to protect sites where conflicting uses will be prohibited or limited (660 -023- <br /> 0010(6)). Additional conclusions and recommendations for the above sites are contained in <br /> Section 5, Conclusions and Recommendations. Table 17.5.2 below and Map 17.B summarize <br /> the recommendations for these sites. <br /> (1) South Hills at Upper Owl Road (E37H): <br /> Conservation setback of 40 feet recommended. As discussed above, this site (E37H) is <br /> recommended for protection. The conservation measure proposed for this site is the /WR <br /> Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone ( /WR overlay zone). This riparian site is <br /> recommended to be designated a Category C Stream. This recommendation is based on <br /> the ESEE analysis above, and on these factors: (1) the quality of riparian habitat, (2) high <br /> connectivity values, and (3) the presence of steep channel gradients and steep <br /> surrounding slopes which make this site more vulnerable to channel erosion, and makes it <br /> more important for protecting downstream water quality from sedimentation. For <br /> riparian and upland wildlife habitat sites designated Category C Streams, the <br /> conservation area includes the area within the resource site boundary, plus the area within <br /> a conservation setback of 40 feet measured from the top of bank of the stream. Within <br /> this conservation area, the /WR overlay zone restricts new development, removal of <br /> riparian vegetation, and other conflicting uses. <br /> (2) South Hills at St. Clair (E37I): <br /> Conservation setback of 40 feet recommended. As discussed above, this site (E37I) is <br /> recommended for protection. The conservation measure proposed for this site is the /WR <br /> Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone ( /WR overlay zone). This riparian site is <br /> recommended to be designated a Category C Stream. This recommendation is based on <br /> the ESEE analysis above, and on these factors: (1) the quality of riparian habitat, (2) high <br /> connectivity values, and (3) the presence of steep channel gradients and steep <br /> surrounding slopes which make this site more vulnerable to channel erosion, and makes it <br /> more important for protecting downstream water quality from sedimentation. For riparian <br /> and upland wildlife habitat sites designated Category C Streams, the conservation area <br /> includes the area within the resource site boundary, plus the area within a conservation <br /> setback of 40 feet measured from the top of bank of the stream. Within this conservation <br /> area, the /WR overlay zone restricts new development, removal of riparian vegetation, <br /> and other conflicting uses. <br /> (3) South Hills at Owl Road /Fox Hollow (E37J, AMA -13): <br /> (a) South Hills at Lower Owl Road; South Hills at Donald/Fox Hollow: <br /> Conservation setback of 40 feet recommended. As discussed above, these sites (E37J - <br /> 1, E37J -2, E37J -5) are recommended for protection. The conservation measure proposed <br /> for these sites is the /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone (/WR overlay <br /> zone). This riparian site is recommended to be designated a Category C Stream. This <br /> recommendation is based on the ESEE analysis above, and on these factors: (1) the <br /> quality of riparian habitat, (2) high connectivity values, (3) diversity of habitat types, and <br /> ESEE Analysis Page 16 <br />
