21 <br />The rationale for this request is that the existing buffer requirements are too restrictive <br />and that the project will `enhance' the property value of many of the adjacent <br />undeveloped and older residential properties. <br />Staff Comment: There is insufficient information for staff to comment on the proposed <br />design solution. <br />Staff is still evaluating the request to understand the placement, and intensity, of the <br />reduced buffers as they relate to a few specific properties along Buckhorn Road. All <br />other buffers would be suggested to remain at one hundred (100) feet. <br />Staff recommends that the applicant be required to provide more detail justifying the <br />proposed design solution prior to any recommendation being made by staff. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Zoning Officer recommends that the Boards: <br />1. Receive the applications of Planned Development rezoning and Class A Special Use <br />Permit, <br />2. Receive the Zoning Officer's assessment report/recommendation of the applications, <br />3. Conduct a Public Hearing on the applications, <br />4. Adjourn the Public Hearing (both boards) to a specific date, time, and place, allowing the <br />applicant to address staff's comments, and <br />5: Refer to the Planning Board to allow additional written comments as appropriate prior to <br />the reconvening of the Public Hearing as described above. <br />
