§ 90-666. Site specific delineation of RPA limits.

(a)

Delineation by applicant. The site-specific boundaries of the resource protection area shall be determined by the applicant through the performance of an environmental site assessment, subject to approval by the planning director or his designee and in accordance with section 90-669 (Plan of development process) or section 90-668 (Water quality impact assessment). The Official Preservation Area District Map may be used as a guide to the general location of resource protection areas.

(b)

Delineation by planning director or his designee. The planning director or his designee, when requested by the applicant wishing to construct a single-family residence, may waive the requirement for an environmental site assessment and perform the delineation. The planning director or his designee may use hydrology, soils, plant species, and other data, and consult with other appropriate resources as needed to perform the delineation.

(c)

Where conflict arises over delineation. Where the applicant has provided a determination of the resource protection area, the boundaries of this district shall be as shown on the overlay district boundary map unless a field survey conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, an applicable agency of the state or federal government, a licensed engineer, licensed soil scientist or other professional designated by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, finds such boundary to be in error. If the adjusted boundary delineation is contested by the applicant, the applicant may seek relief.
