Final Draft proposed for Adoption Attachment 1 8 <br />for non-residential uses. Outside of the pre-designated commercial area but <br />within the boundaries of the Highway 70 Overlay District, chain link or similar <br />fencing shall not be permitted for non-residential uses. <br />5. Ingress and Egress. The following standards shall regulate ingress and egress <br />points within the corridor: <br />a. For purposes of determining the allowable number of ingress and egress <br />points on any particular lot, all lots recorded at the effective date of this <br />Ordinance shall be granted at least one (1) ingress and egress point per <br />road front unless access can be provided through some internal means. <br />However, minimisation of the total number of driveways along the <br />Highway 70 corridor is desirable through the use of shared driveways or <br />other access management techniques. <br />b. Entrances: On all corner lots, no vehicular openings shall be located <br />closer than sixty (60) feet from the point of intersection of the street right- <br />of-way lines. To manage access on Highway 70, corner lots may be <br />required to provide ingress and/or egress from the adjacent street. <br />Entrances/exits shall not exceed thirty-six (36) feet in width measured at <br />the property line; however, in instances where parking lots serve <br />tractor/trailer traffic, the driveway entrance/exit may be increased to forty <br />(40) feet in width. Exits for parking facilities containing more than thirty- <br />six (36) parking spaces shall contain holding lanes for left-turning and <br />right-turning traffic unless the Zoning Officer determines that due to the <br />physical features of a site, holding lanes would be unsafe and in <br />accordance with established traffic mitigation standards, should not be <br />required. <br />c. Multiple curb cut requirements: A lot fronting on Highway 70 shall <br />have a minimum of six hundred (600) feet of road frontage along the street <br />before two (2) curb cuts are allowed unless the project meets one (1) of the <br />following criteria: <br />i. Any mixed-use development where two. (2) curb cuts are approved <br />as part of a Special Use Permit or other approval procedures as <br />prescribed by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. <br />ii. In instances where anon-residential land use is proposed next to <br />another non-residential land use and each of the contiguous non- <br />residential land uses will have direct frontage along Highway 70, <br />then the County shall require shared driveway cuts for all such <br />contiguous non-residential land uses. In the event that shared <br />driveway cuts are required, then the owners of the contiguous <br />parcels shall execute reciprocal easement agreements between the <br />separate property owners and have the same recorded in the Office <br />of the Orange County Register of Deeds prior to the issuance of a <br />Zoning Compliance Permit. The easement agreement called for <br />herein shall be sufficient to allow for the development of a service <br />
