AMENDMENTS TO PUBLIC SAFETY; CONSERVATION; OPEN SPACE, PARKS AND RECREATION; AND LAND USE ELEMENTS Public Safety Element (page 19) Objective 3.0: Preserve wetlands, riparian corridors, and buffer zones and establish reasonable limits on the clearing of vegetation from the project site. Implementation Program: Limit disturbance of natural water bodies and drainage systems to conserve natural areas; protect slopes and channels; and minimize impacts from storm water and urban runoff on the biological integrity of natural drainage systems and water bodies. Conservation Element (page 22-23) Policy: Encourage water conservation through design and facilities features of new developments through the use of water quality wetlands, biofiltration swales, watershed- scale retrofits, etc where such measures are likely to be effective and technically and economically feasible. Policy: Establish development guidelines for areas particularly susceptible to erosion and sediment loss. Policy: Provide for appropriate permanent measures to reduce storm water pollutant loads in storm water from the development site. Policy: Minimize changes in hydrology and pollutant loading; require incorporation of control, including structural and non-structural and Best Management Practices to mitigate the projected increases in pollutant loads and flows. Policy: Ensure that post-development runoff rates and velocities from a site have no significant adverse impact on downstream erosion and stream habitat. Program: Maintain compliance with regional watershed and storm water management principles. Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element (page 25) Objective 4.0: Encourage the use of water quality wetlands, biofiltration swales, watershed-scale retrofits, etc. in existing and new open space, parks and recreation facilities where such measures are likely to be effective and technically and economically feasible. ~~~4Ð
