What activities are allowed in undisturbed buffers?
All buffer requirements in the PCCO refer to the S.W.I.M. Ordinance, which describes what activities are allowed. Parallel water and sewer utility installation as approved by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities are permitted, as are road crossings for connectivity or transportation links where the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission has granted site plan approval. Please note that BMPs used to meet PCCO requirements are not allowed in the undisturbed buffer. At this time, no disturbances are allowed to buffers on intermittent and perennial streams in the Six Mile basin.
