The sensitive area overlay zones are established to protect property, preserve natural areas, advance the public good and reduce liability by restricting development in identified sensitive areas. These overlay zones are not typical of other zones, which are characterized by political boundaries. The overlay zones are identified by specific and quantifiable natural characteristics and are therefore not always contiguous. All requests for permits involving a lot, parcel or site located wholly or partially within an area designated on the zoning map as a sensitive overlay zone (flood overlay zone (OF), slope overlay zone (OS), high water table overlay zone (OW) or earthquake fault overlay zone (OE) shall require approval of the zoning administrator. The zoning administrator may request assistance from the city engineer for the reviewing of plans and setting of conditions prior to issuing a permit. All applicants shall comply with the following regulations before any permit shall be issued.
