Attachment 1: Site Layout Performance Standards Page 2 a) Natural Resource Protected Areas. These areas include: i. Streams ii. Lakes iii. Wetland Preservation Corridor (WPC): Areas designated as wetland preservation corridor on the landscape -scale WPC boundary shown on Figure 1 in Rice Creek Watershed District Rule RMP 3, as amended. The wetland preservation corridor may include: • Wetlands • Natural and Semi- Natural Areas: Areas designated as Natural and Semi - Natural Areas in accordance with Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). Natural areas are comprised of more than 50% native plants. Semi - Natural areas are comprised of Tess than 50% native plants. • Floodplain: Areas designated as 100-year floodplain and regulated under the Lino Lakes Floodplain Ordinance. b) Natural Resource Conservation Areas. These areas include: i. Wetlands Non - contiguous to the WPC. ii. Natural and Semi - Natural Areas: Areas designated as Natural and Semi - Natural Areas in accordance with the MLCCS. Natural areas are comprised of more than 50% native plants. Semi - Natural areas are comprised of Tess than 50% native plants. iii. Floodplain. Areas designated as 100 -year floodplain and regulated under the Lino Lakes Floodplain Ordinance. c) Natural Resource Corridor Enhancement Areas: Corridors that provide connections between environmentally sensitive areas to establish a more contiguous and complete natural open space system. 2) Minimum Performance Standards for ESAs. The following are the minimum performance standards that shall be used in the site planning process to maximize the function and value of ESAs, to minimize adverse impacts to ESAs, and to allow development activities that will provide equitable economic return. a) Natural Resource Protected Areas. These areas shall be protected and incorporated into new development to maintain the function and value of water resources and associated upland habitat areas while allowing for passive recreational use. Development within natural resource protected areas is largely controlled, and where applicable, prohibited under established regulations. Specific performance standards within a Natural Resource Protected Area are as follows: i. Surface Water. Incorporate lakes and streams into the surface water management system consistent with applicable watershed district, State of Minnesota, and Federal statutes and rules (e.g., pre -treat runoff before discharging into a lake or stream, volume control, and rate control). • • •
