• (B) Preserve the important environmental resources of the city;

• (C) Accommodate passive recreation, hiking and equestrian activities;

• (D) Preclude development or activities in wetlands and significant habitats;

(E) Support compatible commercial activities which capitalize on local and regional agricultural vineyard resources.
