A. Alteration. A m1n1mum alteration of a wetland may be allowed when necessary for the use of property but only when it will not have a substantially or significantly adverse effect as determined by the City, upon the ecological and hydrological characteristics of the wetland; however, in no case shall the restrictions set out below be exceeded. Since the extent of alteration which can be permitted is limited, the City when considering a permit application, shall consider equal apportionment of alteration opportunity. The alteration opportunity within the wetland shall be allocated among property owners in proportion to the area of wetland located within each property.
