No net loss definition
No net loss means that permitted uses in critical areas shall be designed and conducted in a manner consistent with WAC 197-11-768 to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate, in so far as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment of the critical area. It may also encompass restoration of ecological functions necessary to sustain critical areas.
No net loss means the maintenance of the aggregate total of the Town’s environmentally critical area functions and values as achieved through a case-by-case review of development proposals. Each project shall be evaluated based on its ability to meet the no net loss goal.
No net loss means no net loss of shoreline ecological functions as defined in WAC 173-26-186(8) or its successor.
Examples of No net loss in a sentence
No net loss of ecological functions or significant adverse impacts.
No net loss of resource area or function means that no additional wetland or waterway mitigation will be required (proposed actions will be self-mitigating).
No net loss shall be achieved for biodiversity by: (i) assessing the spatial extent of habitat lost or disturbed in the project affected area (i.e. area and condition); (ii) assessing the direct and indirect impacts to the size and long-term viability of populations of species, particularly for species of high conservation value or other indicator species; and (iii) designing an appropriate offset to addresses the residual impacts.

No net loss means the maintenance of the aggregate total of the city's critical areas functions and values over time. The no net loss standard requires that the impacts of a proposed use and/or development, whether permitted or exempt from permit requirements, be identified and mitigated on a project-by project basis, so that as development occurs critical areas functions and values stay the same.
No net loss means that the ecological functions of the shoreline will not be reduced as a result
No net loss means a state in which the square footage of useable parkland added to the city’s park inventory since July 28, 1998, is equal to or greater than the square footage of urban parkland covered by structures since that date. Lands within the jurisdiction of the Port of Oakland and lands classified as “Resource Conservation Areas” are excluded from this calculation. Structures smaller than one hundred (100) square feet shall also be exempt from this calculation.
No net loss means the requirement that development and vegetation removal not result in net
No net loss means that the ecological functions of the shoreline will not be reduced as a result of discrete or cumulative development activities.
No net loss means the maintenance of the aggregate total of the county’s critical areas’ ecological functions and values. The no net loss standard requires that the impacts of development and/or use, whether permitted or exempt, be identified and mitigated such that there are no resulting adverse impacts on ecological functions or processes. Each project shall be evaluated based on its ability to meet the no net loss requirement.
No net loss means a standard where adverse impacts must be avoided or offset through adherence to certain requirements so that there is no net change in the function from the existing condition when a development application is submitted to the state, tribal, or local jurisdiction. The floodplain functions of floodplain storage, water quality, and vegetation must be maintained.
