21.34.010 Purpose. The conservation district is applied to sensitive public lands that are critical to the maintenance of fish and wildlife resources, protect important watershed areas, or serve other key environmental functions. Private lands meeting the same criteria also may be included in the district with the consent of the owner. These lands are to be maintained in an undisturbed and natural state, except for parks with passive recreation activities and facilities (e.g., wildlife viewing, nature walks, educational and interpretive uses) and other uses that do not change the character of the land or disrupt fish and wildlife. Passive recreation activities are secondary to habitat protection and enhancement. (Ord. 11-32 §1, 2011; Ord. 08-29, 2008).

c. Public utility facilities and structures that cannot be reasonably located in another district.
d. Parking lots incidental to a permitted or conditionally permitted use.
