If the vegetation is removed for any reason, other than in <br /> accordance with an approved landscape and tree preservation plan, the <br /> dimensions of the buffer shall be increased 50% and the number of required <br /> plantings shall be increased 50%. <br /> (2) The critical root zones of trees within the buffer must be protected if the applicant <br /> seeks credit for preservation of existing trees. For example, if a required buffer <br /> has a dimensional width of 30 feet, and the critical root zone extends beyond the <br /> 30 feet, the buffer will be extended to the edge of the critical root zone in the area <br /> around the tree. <br /> (3) If necessary, a natural buffer will be supplemented with additional plantings in <br /> order to meet the Constructed Buffers standards established herein. <br /> (F) Constructed Buffers <br /> (1) If existing plantings are not sufficient to meet the buffer standards established in <br /> this Section, additional plantings shall be installed. <br /> (2) The plant units listed below will be considered comparable, and therefore <br /> interchangeable, as set forth below. <br /> (3) Option 2, Deciduous, shall not be permitted when the proposed use is non- <br /> residential and is proposed next to a residential district or use, unless employed <br /> with a wall, as set forth herein. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-48 <br />
