At the time that the PW -II district was <br />first adopted, these were the only water supply watersheds <br />designated on the Comprehensive Plan. <br />In late 1988, the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive <br />Plan was amended to designate Back Creek, Flat Creek, and <br />Little River Watersheds as Water supply Watersheds. The <br />Zoning Ordinance was also amended to apply the PW -II <br />overlay on the zoned portion of those watersheds. Article <br />4.2.27 of the Zoning Ordinance should have been amended as <br />well to reflect the expansion of area designated as <br />water supply watershed. The proposed amendment would allow <br />the PW -II overlay to be applied to any watershed designated <br />as a water supply watershed in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Article 4.2.28 applies the WQCA Water Quality Critical Area <br />overlay. The proposed amendment to this section is for <br />clarification only. <br />The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on <br />December 11, 1990. There were no comments. <br />The Planning Board considered the proposed amendment on <br />January 28, 1991 and recommended approval. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed <br />amendment. <br />
