Implementation <br />Team: Advisory Committee, Cities <br />A3) Amend comprehensive plans to reflect areas designated in A2. <br />Implementation Team: Cities <br />A4) Create an overlay district with unique zoning codes for Valley Creek <br />watershed. <br />Implementation Team: Cities <br />A5) Amend zoning codes for Valley Creek watershed. <br />Implementation Team: Cities <br />A6) Avoid or prohibit development of impervious surfaces within ? feet <br />of the stream by education and voluntary actions and by modifying <br />rules and/or ordinances. <br />Implementation Team: Landowners, Developers, Advisory <br />Committee, VBWD, and Cities. <br />A7) Recommend/ensure that each land parcel in the watershed contains <br />no more than 10°,~o impervious surfaces by modifying rules and/or <br />ordinances, by education and voluntary actions. <br />Implementation Team: VBWD, Cities, Landowners, developers, and <br />Advisory Committee. <br />3-5 <br />
