               A minimum 100-foot vegetative buffer is required for all new development activities
               that exceed the low density option; otherwise, a minimum 50-foot vegetative buffer,
               for development activities as described in the stormwater ordinance, is required along
               all perennial waters indicated on the most recent versions of U.S.G.S. 1:24,000 (7.5
               minute) scale topographic maps or as determined by local government studies. Desirable
               artificial streambank or shoreline stabilization is permitted.

               No new development is allowed in the buffer area, except for water dependent structures
               and other structures, such as flagpoles, signs, and security lights which result in
               only diminutive increases in impervious area, and public projects, such as road crossings
               and greenways, where no practical alternative exists. These activities should minimize
               the built-upon surface area, direct stormwater away from the surface waters and maximize
               the utilization of stormwater Best Management Practices.
