For the purposes of administering these <br /> Rules, any construction site that meets one or more of the following criteria shall be considered a <br /> sensitive azea for which an erosion prevention permit will be required: <br /> 1.1 The slope of the pazcel in the azea of disturbance is greater than 10%; <br /> 1.2 The site contains highly erodible soils; or <br /> 1.3 The parcel or tax lot of record has the potential to directly drain into a water <br /> feature or its designated buffer area. <br /> 2. Determination of Sensitive Area. To assist with the administration of these <br /> provisions, the Ciry has prepazed a map indicating sites that appear to meet the above criteria. The <br /> Public Work ~ Director, or designee, shall use this map to make a preliminary determination of a <br /> site's sensitive area status. The map is on file at the City's Public Works Engineering Department <br /> (858 Pearl Street) and Permit & Information Center (99 West 10th Avenue). <br /> An applicant may challenge the Director's preliminary determination that a site is a sensitive <br /> area through submission of actual field or site information that demonstrates to the City's satisfaction <br /> that the site's existing physical features, such as a continuous vegetative perimeter buffer which <br /> prevents discharge of sediments, mitigate potential stormwater quality impacts, and the Director <br /> shall thereafter make a final determnation of whether the site is a sensitive azea. <br /> If an applicant chooses not to contest the designation or is unable to satisfy the above criteria, <br /> the site shall be considered a sensitive area and an erosion prevention permit shall be required. <br /> 3.
