NATURAL ZONE CLASSIFICATION (NAT)
Sections:
21.60.010 Purpose—Intent.
The natural zone is intended for those areas which have extreme importance for the maintenance of natural systems in which any developmental intrusion by man would result in a substantial impact on the system, thereby impairing its visually or physically unique qualities. (Ord. 2005-02 (part))
21.60.020 Uses.
A. No permanent structures are allowed; except, such structures which are necessary to protect property from overbank flow of high water and to stabilize eroding stream banks. No roads other than foot trails are allowed. Timber harvesting shall be permitted only when necessary to prevent epidemic outbreaks of insect or disease infestations, or salvage areas devastated by extensive wind throw or fire. All other uses will not be permitted. Access shall only be provided when such access is of a nature and volume that will assure no adverse impact upon the area or system of which it is a part.
B. Outdoor recreational facilities may be allowed as conditional uses. (Ord. 2021-04, 11-30-21; Ord. 2005-02 (part))
21.60.030 Minimum lot size.
Minimum lot size shall be ten acres. The lot depth should not exceed the lot width by more than a ratio of four to one (four being the depth). Access panhandles shall not be taken into account as part of the area calculations relative to minimum lot size indicated above. (Ord. 2005-02 (part))
