An overlay district of natural areas and rare species sites is <br />identified in this ordinance, and development is generally <br />guided away from these areas. However, compliance with <br />this ordinance is largely voluntary (lacks "teeth)." <br />Biko Associates worked with numerous agencies and citizens <br />to develop a package of model ordinances for sustainable <br />development. The ordinances span seven topics ( "clusters ") <br />including citizen participation, grant management, managing <br />community resources, neighborhood design, infrastructure <br />planning, resource efficient buildings, and economic <br />development. The cluster on managing community resources <br />divides significant natural environment areas into two <br />categories: Natural Resource Protection Zones (highest <br />protection status) and Natural Resource Conservation Zones <br />(where management for economic production is an option). <br />John Wells, Minnesota <br />Planning, (651) 297 -2377; <br />http: /www.mnplan.state.mn. <br />us /SDl/ordinances.html <br />St. Cloud, MN <br />0 <br />c <br />a) <br />.5 <br />W <br />0 <br />a) <br />City of St. Cloud Environmentally Sensitive Areas <br />Ordinance <br />Minnesota Planning/Minnesota Environmental <br />Quality Board. 2000.
