Millstream Meadows- Review of Ecological Site Features

The assessment created a baseline for development planning and rezoning activities and as a means to meet the requirements of the Riparian Area Regulation (RAR). The assessment and related report  included desktop and field site assessment components including the following:

• Review of mapping databases including but not limited to Data BC, CRD Community Atlas, CDC iMap to identify ecological features that were present on the subject property;
• Site visit to identify ecological site features (e.g., riparian-wetland corridors, streams, isolated wet areas, rocky knolls, forested areas, protected species, roads, etc.);
• Documentation required by the District of Highlands for rezoning and determining setbacks;
• Identification of off-site linkages with adjacent properties;
• Ground-truthed presence/absence of mapped ecological features;
• Provided photographic evidence and scaled figures/drawings of site and off-site notable features of concern for future development;
