A. The boundary of a critical area will be delineated by survey stakes, and/or tape at the time of the completion of the critical area report. The buffer will be established as measured from that boundary. During construction, the buffer edge will be delineated and identified using plastic tape and construction fence, or any other effective measure to prohibit construction activities from encroaching into the critical area and its associated buffer. Those measures will be maintained until completion of the project.

B. Upon completion of the construction of the project, the boundary of the critical area and/or buffer will be designated with permanent signs, monuments and fencing, the design and spacing of which will be left to the discretion of the director.

C. All critical areas and their buffers which have been protected through the application of this chapter shall be permanently protected by designating them as native growth protection areas (NGPAs). (Ord. 3193 § 2, 2016)
