Where the applicant has provided a site-specific delineation of the RPA, the Director of Planning will verify the accuracy of the boundary delineation. In determining the site-specific RPA boundary, the Director of Planning may render adjustments to the applicant's boundary delineation, in accordance with Section 9.1- 11. In the event the adjusted boundary delineation is contested by the applicant, the applicant may seek relief, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1-11 I. D. Final Delineation Shown on CBPA Map When a delineation of a CBPA has been established by the Director of Planning, the CBPA amended to reflect that delineation. approved or Map shall be Section 9.1-10. Performance Standards. A. Purpose and Intent. The performance standards establish the means to minimize erosion and sedimentation potential, reduce land application of nutrients and toxics, and maximize rainwater infiltration. Natural ground cover, especially woody vegetation, is most effective in holding soil in place and preventing site erosion. Indigenous vegetation, with its adaptability to local conditions without the use of harmful fertilizers or pesticides, filters stormwater runoff. Minimizing impervious cover enhances rainwater infiltration and effectively reduces stormwater runoff potential. The purpose and intent ~of these requirements are also to implement the following objectives: prevent a net increase in nonpoint source pollution from new development; achieve a 10% reduction in nonpoint source pollution from redevelopment; and achieve a 40% reduction in nonpoint source pollution from agricultural uses. General Performance Standards for Development and Redevelopment. (1) Land disturbance shall be limited to the area necessary to provide for the desired use or development. In accordance with an approved site plan, the limits of land disturbance, including clearing or 7
