The standard buffer widths required by this chapter presume the existence of a relatively intact <br /> native vegetated community including native tree cover, shrub understory and ground cover. If <br /> the existing buffer is unvegetated,sparsely vegetated, or vegetated with invasive species,the <br /> buffer vegetation shall be enhanced or restored to the width required by this section.The <br /> vegetation shall include native plant communities that are appropriate for the Puget Lowland <br /> ecoregion or with a plant community that provides similar functions. <br /> Table 47 1.
