The Shoreline Development Buffer shall be established in natural vegetation. The buffer shall be
measured landward from the mean high-water line of tidal waters and tidal wetlands, and from
tributary streams and expanded for contiguous, sensitive areas, such as soils with slopes greater
than 15%, hydric soils, or highly erodible soils, whose development or disturbance may impact
streams, wetlands, or other aquatic environments. Clearing existing natural vegetation in the
Buffer is not permitted unless approved by the Department of Planning and Zoning under a
Forest Preservation Plan/Buffer Management Plan. New managed turf or lawn is prohibited.
The Buffer shall be established and managed to achieve a naturally vegetated area or vegetated
area, established and managed to protect aquatic, wetland, shoreline and terrestrial environments
from man-made disturbances. Under each enumerated purpose, state how your Buffer
Management Plan for Buffer achieves these purposes. Attach additional sheet if necessary. The
Department of Planning and Zoning may require additional information as it deems necessary for
approval on a case by case basis.
