LDC 6.8.6 Buffers
CODE states A. It is the intent of this section to eliminate or reduce the negative impacts of the adjacent uses upon each other such that the long term continuance of either use is not threatened by such impacts and the uses may be considered compatible. B. Buffers shall provide a year-round screen and provide an aesthetic quality, especially along public rights-of-way, which enhance travel corridors and screen unsightly areas from public view. C. Plant species shall be mixed to provide diversity and appeal. D. Buffers may consist of landscaping, buffer walls, fencing, berms, or combinations thereof which work cohesively to achieve the intent of buffering. E. Every development, with the exception of the construction of an individual single-family residence or duplexes on an individual parcel of record, shall provide sufficient buffering when topographical or other barriers do not provide reasonable screening. F. If buffers are required, the length shall be measured along each property line, and shall exclude driveways and other access points. G. No buildings, structures (other than buffer walls or buffer fences), storage of materials, or parking shall be permitted within the buffer area. H. Buffers shall not be located on any portion of an existing or dedicated right-of-way. I. Arrangement of plantings in buffers shall provide maximum protection to adjacent properties, avoid damage to existing trees and plant material, and take mature growing sizes into consideration regarding shade, root damage, and interference with nearby utilities. J. 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. (4) Table 6.8-2 provides the type of buffer required between a proposed use and an existing use, or in the absence of an existing use.
APPLICANT requests waiver for Buffer B on the west boundary as client owns the adjoining parcel. The parcel exceeds the buffer width of the buffer and currently has mature trees and vegetation that buffers the parcel and site.
LDC 6.12.12(D) Sidewalk
CODE states at the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board.
APPLICANT requests approval to pay fee in lieu of sidewalk construction along NE 19th Street and requests a waiver not to build a sidewalk on NE 98th Street.
