Mitigation requirements for single-family residential development
within the one-hundred-foot Buffer on non-BEA properties are based
on limits of disturbance of development activity and require a variance
from the Board of Appeals. Mitigation requirements for single-family
residential development within the Critical Area, but not in a BEA
or one-hundred-foot Buffer, are based upon the extent of the existing
forest and developed woodland cover and proposed forest clearing.

All non-single-family development in the BEA must provide a buffer yard in addition to mitigation required by the development activity. An applicant must obtain a variance when proposing a non-single-family residential development activity that is not within the BEA but within the Critical Area or one-hundred-foot Buffer. The applicant must meet the standards found in § 290-32F of this chapter in order for the Board of Appeals to issue a variance.
