Sec. B11-90. Intent and findings.

The intent of the provisions of this article is to implement, in part or in whole, the recommendations contained in the Project Report for the Lexington Basin in Santa Clara County, dated September 1980, by James M. Montgomery, Consulting Engineers, Inc. The objective of the report was to evaluate the cumulative impacts of using on-site wastewater facilities in the Lexington Basin watershed in Santa Clara County. Based on the report's conclusions, the Board of Supervisors makes the following findings:

(a) That the continued use of the present septic systems and regulations in the Lexington Basin will result in significant water quality degradation of the local streams and will imperil the public health, safety and welfare.

(b) That alternatives to conventional septic systems are necessary in certain areas of the basin in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

(c) That development of vacant parcels in the basin proceed only according to certain guidelines, including minimum parcel sizes, maximum parcel slopes, and maximum waste water application rates in order to protect public health, safety and welfare.

(d) That further development of existing vacant parcels or new subdivision activity in Lake Canyon shown as subarea "Central Facilities--Collection System and Community Leach Field" on Figure 9-1 (revised October 16, 1980) of the above report will result in significant water quality degradation of local streams and will imperil the public health, safety and welfare.

(Ord. No. NS-517.72, § 2, 4-15-03)

Editor's note--The area to which the provisions of this article apply are designated on a map attached to the above report and designated "Apparent Best Alternative Figure 9-1" (revised October 16, 1980). A copy of the map is hereby adopted by reference and made a part hereof, and must be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and referred to hereinafter as Figure 9-1.
