Latest version.
  • The city plan shall include a conservation element providing for the conservation, development, utilization and protection of natural resources in the study area, including air, water, estuarine marshes, soils, flood plans, waterways, forests fisheries and wildlife, minerals, and other natural and environmental resources. The city does not fall within a coastal zone as same is defined by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, Volume 16, United State Code § 1453(a). However, due to salt water intrusion of parts of the city's waterways it may in the future have upland estuarine marshes and thus reserves the privilege in future modifications of its city plan, once same is duly adopted under the state act, to include a coastal zone protection element as the element is more fully defined under the state act.
