LDC 6.8.6.(J) Buffers

CODE states Required buffer types between land uses. (1) Specialized Commerce Districts include a mix of both commercial and industrial land uses, therefore, buffer requirements shall apply only to lots on the perimeter of the district. (2) Buffer installation and maintenance shall be provided concurrently with the development of the more intense land use, with the following deviations:(a) When a new but less intense land use is developed adjoining a pre-existing developed site with a higher intensity use, the new use is subject to providing the required land use buffer. (b) When a new but less intense land use is responsible for providing the required land use buffer, the developer may reduce the required buffer by one buffer type with acknowledgement of the buffer reduction clearly noted on the development plan. (c) The development of an individual single family residence or duplex is exempt from providing the required buffer (3) In interpreting and applying the provisions of buffers, development is classified into categories shown in Table 6.8-1.

APPLICANT - County is requesting total relief from buffer requirements for this site. The proposed drainage retention area is a retrofit within an existing neighborhood with no stormwater management system. The site is remote and has no water available for irrigation. Additionally, the required buffers unnecessarily increase the construction costs and long-term maintenance costs of the project.
