"2.4 Setbacks and Pad Drilling. Section 90-122(b) of LPLUC establishes certain setback requirements. In some instances, existing minor oil and gas facilities which initially met the setback requirements of this section do not currently meet the requirements due to (i) the encroachment of other development into the setback area, (ii) the facility is a nonconforming uses, as defined in this chapter, due to a failure to meet current setback requirements; or (iii) because a waiver previously was obtained." |
