II. DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL AREAS AND DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS
20.25H.025 Designation of critical areas.
The areas identified in the table directly below are hereby designated as critical areas. For additional information about identifying each critical area, see the specific sections noted. Together, streams, habitats associated with species of local importance, and steep slopes comprise fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas. Critical aquifer recharge areas are not designated by the City of Bellevue, but State Source Water Protection Program standards apply (WAC 246-290-135 as now or hereafter amended).
