The typical display area for a vehicle is 288 sq. ft., which <br /> includes the required parking area for said vehicle and the portion of drive isle <br /> allowing access. <br /> Staff then identified the acceptable levels of intensity for the various base <br /> zoning districts with respect to the display of motor vehicle sales/rental. <br /> Ultimately the recommended numbers were designed to allow for <br /> approximately 20% of the property to be used in support of motor vehicle <br /> display allowing for the remaining area to satisfy setback, office, customer <br /> parking, and required land use buffer development. <br /> • Several Board members asked if the proposed text amendment will impact <br /> allowable impervious surface area on a given parcel. <br /> STAFF COMMENT. Development of such land uses will have to comply with <br /> applicable impervious surface limits based on the Watershed Protection <br /> Overlay District where the property is located. <br /> • A Board member asked is staff could quantify the number of motor vehicle <br /> sales/rental businesses operating in the County and if pictures of the vehicle <br /> display issues could be provided. <br /> STAFF COMMENT. Staff will provide this material at the November 23, 2015 <br /> Quarterly Public Hearing. <br /> The ORC materials are available at- <br /> hLtp-://www.oranqecountvnc.qov/ORC Sep 2015 Agenda Package.pdf.
