These districts are subject to additional <br /> requirements beyond those required by the WCA. The boundaries of the wetland overlay � <br /> districts are identified graphically on the official city wetland map (CWM) which is <br /> hereby adopted by reference, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the office of the city <br /> clerk and shall be available for public review during all normal office hours. Wetlands in <br /> addition to those shown on the city wetland map may exist, and may be identified by <br /> � wetland delineations under WCA rules. If a specific wetland delineation has been done <br /> under WCA rules, then the boundaries of the wetland overlay district for that location <br /> will be as shown in the delineation. The city may require wetland delineations to <br /> determine compliance with WCA rules and to determine administrative . wetland <br /> boundaries; however, property owners may have wetland delineations done for their <br /> properties on their own initiative. The delineation must be done by a qualified <br /> professional according to WCA rules and be acceptable to the planning director, who <br /> may require review by city consultants or a technical evaluation panel if necessary. <br /> Page 3 of 16 <br />
