38 DESIGN SOLUTION FOURTEEN (14) as outlined on page forty-six (46) of the application reading as follows: C `The applicant requests a waiver from Section 3.2 of the EDD Design Manual requiring fifty (SO) to one hundred (100) foot buffers along adjacent residential properties along Buckhorn Road' The applicant is proposing to reduce this buffer to twenty-five (25) feet in width. The rationale for this request is that the existing buffer requirements are too restrictive and that the project will `enhance' the property value of many of the adjacent undeveloped and older residential properties. STAFF BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: The rationale for this request is that the existing buffer requirements are too restrictive and that the project will `enhance' the property value of many of the adjacent undeveloped and older residential properties. Maintenance of a sufficient density of forest cover within the perimeter buffer is an important factor to consider. Typically, Orange County land use buffer requirements for any retail trade require a Type "E" (one hundred foot [ 100']) depth. Should the uses adjacent to the residences along Buckhorn Road be office the buffer could be reduced to seventy-five (75'), or fifty feet (50') for residential apartment uses. In any case, as per Section 12.6.1, the buffer shall be composed of seventy-five (75%) percent evergreen vegetation distributed so as to create asemi-opaque screen to a height of at least thirty feet (30').
