A. Site Development. At all times when practical and reasonable, new drill sites shall be developed at an existing established drill site in order to free more land for other uses and reduce the interface between oil or gas activities and other land uses, thereby making the potentially adverse impacts from such operations easier to mitigate; and provide for the opportunity to establish greater buffers and separation between oil or gas facilities and other uses.

B. Limiting Drilling Sites. Whenever a new drilling site is proposed, the proponent shall analyze in conjunction with the city and the DOG, all gas or oil zones and the typical reach of directionally drilled wells in order to establish a site where all or most of the resource can be removed from one drilling site. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).
