BC
Backcountry District
The purpose and intent of the BC Zoning District is to retain the relatively undeveloped character of backcountry areas in the County while allowing for very low-impact development, consistent with the type of development that historically occurred in the area. Backcountry areas can loosely be defined as more remote areas typified by lack of maintained and improved roads, little or no utilities or infrastructure and very limited or sparse development. Characteristics that may be present include sensitive environmental areas i.e. wetlands, steep slopes, sub-alpine forest or tundra, historic mining remnants, high ridges and alpine peaks and areas that provide scenic views. Development in many of these areas can be difficult due to limited access, steep terrain and other site constraints. The BC Zoning District is intended to provide for development patterns, intensity, scale and impact that are harmonious with the characteristics and constraints in backcountry areas. Specific standards for uses in the BC Zoning District are listed in Section 3514 et seq.
