• - • - - - -- prevent hazardous conditions. Objective 2.15.3 Provide innovative development design that assures protection of critical areas and that also allows for reasonable use and development of properties. Objective 2.15.4 Protect geologically hazardous areas,including steep slope and unstable soils areas from Objective 2.15.5 Ensure land development and construction practices that avoid or minimize disturbance to unstable soils and steep slopes. Objective 2.15.6 Encourage development using low impact development practices. Objective 2.15.7 Encourage construction and site planning practices that adequately address the physical limitations of topographical and geological features. Objective 2.15.8 Insure prompt development, restoration and effective erosion control of property during and after land clearing through the use of phased development,replanting,and other appropriate engineering and construction management techniques. Objective 2.15.9 Protect and improve surface and ground water quality. Objective 2.15.10 Protect and enhance the natural functions of water resources such as str ams,lakes,and wetlands, including water quality maintenance,fish and wildlife habitat,runoff and flood control,ground water recharge and discharge,sediment retention,pollution assimilation,and stream flow. Objective 2.15.11 Include incentives for conservation and restoration of critical ar as,including restoration Objective 2.15.12 Ensure land development,construction,and site planning practices that protect and enhance the city's water resources. Objective 2.15.13 Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat ar as. Objective 2.15.14 Reduce impacts of urban development on adjacent critical areas and their buffers, including impacts of noise and lighting. Objective 2.15.15 Provide for public access in critical areas and buffers when these activities can be designed in a manner that results in no net loss of functions and values. Objective 2.15.16 Provide public educational opportunities such as interpretive trails,signs, and other public information tools,when these activities arc designed in a manner that will not compromise the functions and values of critical areas. Objective 2.15.17 Inventory and designate the critical areas within the city and its designated urban growth ar as. Map critical areas based on best available science. Objective 2.15.18 Amend the zoning code and other development regulations as needed to properly regulate development in critical areas while still allowing reasonable use of properties. Objective 2.15.19 Require that adverse impacts of land use activities on critical areas be identified, mitigated,and monitored as appropriate for all phases of development(e.g.design,construction,and management).
