- _ II . I ' 0I REQUESTED WAIVERS AIV[R5 The applicant ' ' lic requests following waiver o f regulations based on the following information: II WAIVE Article 7.14.3, Site Planning, item a.4, perimeter buffer requirements mont o of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance. | ' u 9 8 B �fe� �� and Figure 9-1, Buffer Types, of the I SUBSTITUTE Section . �'xp , Chapel Hill Design Manual. I . The 100 foot perimeter buffer requirement for all PD-H zones did not an ti- cipate oipato the traditional fee-simple subdivi ion of property being placed in this category. Because of the site being located in the joint planning ~I jurisdiction, a conventi hal rezoning request could not be pursued. The purpose of the 100 foot buffer is to visually obscure and specially separate ' one land use from another. This buffer requirempnt is traditionally used in\\ multi-family situations, not single-family cases. All adjoining land is currently zoned for low density residential use. The exception w to this is Carol Woods, zoned R-5. There is a possibility that the adjoining land could be rezone d to a more intense use. The applicant feels that if this 11 occura° the provision for a perimeter buffer should be required for denser II development. , ' ' . || I .
