In developing the RB zoning district, which was done prior to the development and adoption of Watershed Overlay standards, the County chose to require a 2 acre minimum lot size. We then chose to impose the more restrictive impervious surface limit in an effort to ensure the protection of the Chapel Hill /Carrboro water source. z There was a conscious decision made as reflected in the Joint Planning Land Use Plan, Joint Planning Land Use Plan Agreement, and adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan to keep the area within the RB zoning district at a low density. Changing this policy will require the amendment of the aforementioned document(s). Non - residential development(s) are held to the 6% impervious surface limit. 3 Critical areas, under high density, are limited to 24% while protected areas are limited to 30% impervious surface.
