D.2 Conservation Option For lots created as part of a conservation development, the minimum lot area, lot width, and setback requirements as specified in Article 4.1.2 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance shall apply except as permitted below. • For each conservation lot, buildable and conservation areas must be defined. The buildable area must be of sufficient size to accommodate a single-family detached dwelling and customary accessory uses, including, but not limited to, storage buildings and garages, patios and decks, lawns, and driveways. • The use of the conservation development option is best suited for sites which front on arterial and collector roads, and/or are characterized by limited sewage disposal sites, especially areas with floodplains and alluvial soils, wetlands, and steep slopes (e.g., 15% or greater). As such, the conservation area of each lot; e.g., that portion of the lot to be preserved as open space, shall include designated Primary and/or Secondary Conservation Areas which seek to preserve these features. • A septic system may be located in a conservation area provided it does not occupy more than half of the conservation area nor any part of a Primary Conservation Area. • Only the conservation area designated for each lot may be counted toward meeting the minimum open space requirement. Lots and tracts designated exclusively as conservation area may also be counted toward meeting the open space requirement. • Provided the arrangement, design, and shape of conservation lots is such that lots provide satisfactory and desirable sites for building; contribute to the preservation of designated Primary and/or Secondary Conservation Areas; and satisfy all building/conservation area standards, conservation lots may platted in accordance with following standards: 0 The minimum required lot width may be reduced to 100 feet.
