The major transporta corridors include the interstate system as designated in the adopted Comprehensi Plan. " Users should note the Orange County Comprehensive Transportation Plan is currently being developed; it has not yet been adopted. 19 This language is suggested so that it's clear that none of the requirements of the MTC apply to the parcels in this geographic area that are also located within the MTC. The MTC boundary is based on distance from the interstate /interchanges but none of the parcels in this area fall under the text requirements of the MTC. 20 Some of the zoning districts that could be applied in a CITAN allow buildings taller than 40 feet. A building height limitation of 40 -feet is suggested in order to maintain an urban village character. 2' The fencing regulations [(1) and (2)] are in keeping with the ECOD regulations in order to discourage unaesthetic fencing in the front yards of properties.
