These regulations are intended to encourage preservation of lands designated as environmental
preservation areas, in a natural or near natural state. The City recognizes that there
exists in the City certain lands and areas of unique environmental and ecological
significance which are important for their biological productivity and economic, aesthetic
and safety values. These areas include, but are not limited to, salt marshes, deciduous
forests, pine flatwoods, pine woods, mangrove swamps, hydric and upland hammocks,
freshwater marshes, tidal marshes, beaches, natural drainage areas and flood plains
or lands designated as preservation areas. It is the purpose and intent of this section
to safeguard these areas from inappropriate development so that they may benefit all
the residents of the City and at the same time provide the means whereby property
owners of lands declared to be environmentally or ecologically sensitive or important,
by means of the preservation classification, shall not have to bear the full burden
of preserving and conserving said lands.
