14.100.021 Critical Area Maps.
A. The approximate location and extent of critical areas will be displayed on various inventory maps available at the city community development department. The director shall have the authority to update these maps or add additional maps as inventories are completed in compliance with the requirements of the Growth Management Act. These maps showing critical areas are only for information or illustrative purposes and include:
1. City of Aberdeen Critical Area Map 1: Wetlands;
2. City of Aberdeen Critical Area Map 2: Frequently Flooded Areas;
3. City of Aberdeen Critical Area Map 4: Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas;

B. Maps and inventory lists are not complete and are to be considered only as guides to the general location and extent of critical areas. Maps will be used for a preliminary determination to suggest the presence or absence of a critical area. However, where additional properties containing features meeting the definitions of critical areas contained in this chapter are identified by the city, properties containing such critical areas shall be subjected to the requirements of this chapter. Where mapped areas are confirmed through an advance determination under this chapter or through site visits and analysis of other available data as part of a permit application to not actually contain critical areas, the provisions of this chapter shall not apply.
