§ 16-542. Compatibility with other buffer regulations and requirements.

(a)

This article is not intended to interfere with, abrogate or annul any other ordinance, rule or regulation, statute or other provision of law. The requirements of this article should be considered minimum requirements, and where any provision of this article imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other ordinance, rule, regulation or other provision of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher protective standards for human health or the environment shall be considered to take precedence.

(b)

Examples of existing legislation and regulations as of July 2002 include:

(1)

The Metropolitan River Protection Act and Chattahoochee Corridor Plan;

(2)

DNR Part 5 Criteria for small (under 100 square miles) water supply watersheds; and

(3)

DNR Part 5 Criteria for river protection.

These examples represent only three of the stricter regulations that already exist.
