Article 6: Development Standards 32 <br />Section 6.6: Additional Standards for Overlay Districts <br />traffic safety hazard by the County and nlrnnT. The location of <br />shared driveways shall be determined during site plan review. <br />Shared driveways do not necessarily need to be located at the <br />front of lots if rear access is proposed and feasible. <br />(2) In order to manage access on public streets, sites &h-a4 which include new <br />construction or additions increasing the square footage of a building by more <br />than 50% shoulr' be permitted no more than one entrance and exit point unless <br />justified by: <br />(a) site configuratiu, <br />(b) trip generation; <br />(c) aPA-traffic conditions, including the need for separate service and <br />visitor /employee vehicular access, and /or one -way traffic movement; or <br />(d) other factors . 36 <br />(8) This StandaFd nnnlioIS tn RG_V.A i in4inn nr that innroA_sA_!._; trhrGc961G <br />0 <br />(3) Intra -site accessibility s#a4 should be provided. Vehicles s4a4 should not be <br />required to enter the public street in order to move from one area to another on <br />the same site. <br />(a) This standard applies to new construction or <br />additions that increases the square footage of a building by more than <br />50% of the existing square footage. <br />(4) On all corner lots, no vehicular openings shall be located closer than 60 feet from <br />the point of intersection of the street right -of -way lines. <br />(5) Driveway €entrances /exits shall not exceed 36 feet in width measured at the <br />property line; however, in instances where parking lots serve tractor /trailer traffic, <br />the driveway entrance /exit may be increased to 40 feet in width. <br />(6) Exits for parking facilities containing more than 36 parking spaces shall contain <br />holding lanes for left- turning and right- turning traffic unless the Planning Director <br />determines that due to the physical features of a site, holding lanes would be <br />unsafe and should not be required. <br />(7) All driveway entrances must have an approved NCDOT driveway permit and <br />must be paved to NCDOT standards from the edge of the existing roadway <br />pavement to the existing right -of -way limit on the interior of the property. <br />(8) Pedestrian Circulation 37 <br />(a) Unless deemed unnecessary by the Planning Director during site plan <br />review, large projects, defined in (b), s14a4 may beFega+red encouraged <br />to provide an internal pedestrian circulation system, owned and <br />maintained by the property owner. The system stall may be armed <br />encourage, to provide pedestrian walkways to outparcels and also within <br />any large parking areas. <br />36 The text in orange is to show a reconfiguration of language suggested by the County Attorney's office in late <br />March 2015 in an effort to make the language more clear. The intent actual language has not been suggested for <br />change. <br />37 In October 2011, the issue of sidewalks was discussed at a BOCC work session and the decision was made that, <br />due to NC counties' challenges in funding maintenance of public sidewalks, public sidewalks would not become a <br />requirement for development in Orange County at this time. However, walkability in large commercial projects is <br />generally desirable as is the ability of pedestrians to safely traverse large parking areas. Therefore, staff is <br />suggesting that some projects may be required to provide privately maintained walkways. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 6 -35 <br />
