CANYON RIM: The point below which the final slope toward Rock Creek or the Snake River exceeds
thirty percent (30%) for a distance of ten (10) or more feet. The "final slope", as the term is used
herein, excludes minor breaks in the canyon wall which have a slope of less than thirty percent
(30%) but are: a) inaccessible from existing streets, and/or b) less than one hundred feet (100') in
width. There may be multiple rims meeting this definition, and the requirements of the canyon rims
overlay district apply to all such rims. The location of the rim shall be determined before any
excavation or grading preparatory to development occurs. Any developer may, prior to filing an
application for approval, request that the city engineer delineate the rim on his or her property.
