19-510 : General requirements for water quality buffers.
- All new developments or redevelopments that are required to submit a WQMP and/or record a plat shall establish, protect and maintain water quality buffers along all streams, rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands located in the City of Maryville as set forth in this chapter and in the policy manual. Buffers shall be established, protected, and maintained for portions of waterbodies that are located in the City of Maryville. Any property, or portion thereof, that lies within the water quality buffer is subject to the requirements for the water quality buffer stated in this chapter, as well as any and all zoning restrictions that apply to the parcel as a whole.
- The water quality buffer shall be established, managed and maintained to protect the physical and ecological integrity of the buffered waterbody, to reduce the potential for flooding, provide tree canopy, stabilize streambanks and to filter runoff from developed areas. Management of the water quality buffer includes specific limitations on alteration of the natural conditions as set forth in this chapter and the policy manual.
- Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the water quality buffer must be maintained in a use-restricted, undisturbed state in accordance with this chapter. The water quality buffer must meet, or have the ability to meet through vegetation improvement and growth, the minimum vegetative targets defined for the buffer in this chapter.
- Public or private property that is being developed or redeveloped for purposes of the City of Maryville greenway or linear park system is exempt from all water quality buffer requirements. (1999 Code, § 19-710)
