A request to reduce or deviate from the riparian corridor boundary provisions of this section may be submitted to the Planning Director or designee for consideration. A deviation request may be approved as long as equal or better protection of the riparian area will be ensured through a plan for restoration, enhancement, or similar means. Such a plan shall be submitted to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for a habitat mitigation recommendation pursuant to O.A.R. 635-415 “Fish and Wildlife Habitat Mitigation Policy.” In no case shall activities prohibited in Section 10.926(1) through (3), “Prohibited Activities within Riparian Corridors” be located any closer than 25 feet from the top-of-bank. The Planning Commission shall be kept advised of the outcome of deviation or reduction requests. Any decision of the Planning Director may be appealed to the City Council as provided in Chapter 10 of the Code of Medford.
