047 • Parking areas are encouraged at the side or rear of buildings to leave the front accessible for pedestrian and transit systems. The 25-foot front setback also seeks to encourage building placement closer to these systems. The perimeter buffer was created for a specific purpose not directly related to entranceway issues. The Planning Staff recommends that it be reconsidered in the context of its purpose for separating incompatible uses rather than in the context of entranceway design. PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Article 3.2 Landscape Design Buffering Neighboring Uses (page 3.2.6) Well-designed landscape treatments lessen adverse visual impacts between different types of land uses, reduce noise levels, increase privacy levels and mitigate effects from fumes, glare and vibration. To create transitions between neighboring areas of differing development intensities, and separate incompatible land uses, a buffer of 100 feet in width(except where otherwise specified) is to be provided at the boundary of the Economic Development District,as well as between primary and secondary Development Areas within the Districts. The 100-foot wide buffer need not be=vided when: I The boundary of the Orange CoUM EDD corresponds with the planning jurisdiction_of another local_ government* and The land located in the planning jurisdiction of the other local_ government has been zoned Economic DevelopMol District aW designated the sa=(e.g. Prim= Development Second=Developmen)as the land located in the Orange Co un_ty Economic Development District:and 3 The 4oi ing pl=ing jurisdiction's Economic Development District_Design Manual is the same as Orange Coun_tv's.
