330 <br />Article 4: Overlay Zoning Districts <br />Section 42 Watershed Protection <br />4.2.5 Impervious Surface and Detention Pond Requirements for Residential Uses <br />69 Impervious Surface Ratio requirements in Section 6.3.7 are suggested to be relocated to this Section of the UDO <br />where other impervious surface regulations are located. Staff is suggesting that the higher impervious surface limits <br />apply only to higher - density residential because, at this time, single- family residential is potentially allowed in the <br />Buckhorn EDD (located in the Upper Eno PW); however, staff does not believe that 70% impervious surface is <br />desirable for lower density residential uses. Additionally, limiting residential uses in the Buckhom EDD to only <br />higher density residential on a limited basis is an anticipated work item in 2012. <br />70 Impervious Surface Ratio requirements in Section 6.3.7 are suggested to be relocated to this Section of the UDO <br />where other impervious surface regulations are located.
