What is the city doing to protect and conserve local natural resources?
The City has adopted regulations that protect natural resource areas, such as the Significant Resource Overlay Zone. The SROZ (Section 4.139 of the Wilsonville Development Code) protects wetlands, riparian corridors (areas that directly drain to a stream or river), and upland forests. Development is prohibited in these protected natural resources areas, with the exception of relatively minor development impacts. In addition, the city has many important natural areas that are protected within local parks and open space areas.
