E. Riparian and Stormwater Management Standards

The procedures and standards in Article 6: Riparian Buffers, and Article 7: Stormwater Management, shall apply to all development in MUPD Districts, and may not be modified, but the PD Plan/Agreement may designate the entire district or any part of the district, consistent with the phasing plan, as the site(s) for application of these procedures and standards. Notes: sf = square feet; ft = feet; du = dwelling unit; ac = acre [1] May be waived by the Town Council on finding that creative planning of a smaller site is necessary to address a physical development constraint, protect natural areas, or promote as community goal when more conventional development would result in more difficult or undesirable development.
