CP-2-94 Proposed Open Space Development Area Land Use Plan Category Under this proposal, Sections 3.3 (Land Use Plan Categories), 3.4 (Locational Criteria), and 4.1 (Overview of Implementation Strategies) would be amended to include a description of an Open Space Development Area land use plan category and identify zoning districts which would be applied to the category. Such an area is defined as land adjacent to an Urban or Transition area which is generally non-urban in character and which will generally remain as such. Land in this category will generally contain low-density residential uses (e.g.,no more than two units per acre) which may be served by individual wells and septic tanks or by public water and sewer. Public water and sewer would be an option available to large-scale developments, or a combination of small developments.All open space residential development with density greater than one unit per two acres would be required to set aside and preserve significant amounts of open space (e.g., at least 30 percent of the total project acreage or, another option under consideration, at least 30 percent of the developable area of the project after certain undevelopable open space areas such as wetlands and steep slopes are excluded).The applied zoning districts would include RB (Rural Buffer), AR (Agricultural-Residential), R-1 (Low-Density Residential), and R-2 (Low-Moderate Density Residential).
