Collins indicated this item is to receive public comment on 3 <br /> a <br /> proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment which would establish <br /> dimensional requirements such as lot area, lot width, setbacks, building <br /> height, etc. for a proposed new zoning district classification, Rural <br /> Buffer (RB) . <br /> Collins indicated that the information regarding lot sizes in the <br /> agenda packet was based on 80,000 square foot lots and should be <br /> disregarded. He said updated information was distributed based on a two <br /> acre lot size before the meeting. Collins said data was collected from <br /> the Orange County Land Records Office indicates that approximately 50% of <br /> the parcels within the proposed Rural Buffer have lot sizes of less than <br /> 2 acres. This indicates that 50% of all parcels within the area would <br /> become nonconforming if the proposed minimum lot size standard of two <br /> acres were adopted. These parcels constitute only five percent ( ) <br /> the total acreage. Other dimensional requirements that would ( °)apply <br /> include lot width, front, side and rear setbacks, building height and <br /> standards which apply to Planned Developments. The minimum lot width <br /> proposed in the RB district would be 200 feet. The proposed front yard <br /> setback would be 60 feet from the front property line. The proposed side <br /> and rear yard setbacks would require a 30-foot setback. The proposed <br /> maximum building height is 25 feet. For Planned Developments, the <br /> minimum gross land area required would be 4 acres. A maximum floor area <br /> ratio of . 04 is proposed and the minimum required open space (all areas <br /> not covered by buildings) would be 86% of the site. The required <br /> livability space ratio would be 80%. The minimum required recreational <br /> space ratio on a lot-by-lot development would be equivalent to .014. <br /> He explained that for any type of multi-family development or non- <br /> residential development, the same minimum lot size would apply. The <br /> dimensional requirements for non residential use are identical to those <br /> for residential development in this Rural Buffer area. <br /> Collins emphasized that any existing one acre lot that existed prior <br /> to the time of the adoption of this Ordinance could be built upon <br /> provided the owner of that lot did not own other lots with continuous <br /> frontage. If a person owns more than three lots, the continuous frontage <br /> rule would apply. There are provisions that would allow three lots with <br /> 80% of the lot area and 80% of the lot width required in the Rural Buffer <br /> district. <br /> If any structure within this proposed Rural Buffer became <br /> nonconforming as a result of the application and was destroyed up to 75%, <br /> of the floor area, it could be reconstructed and would not need to meet <br /> the minimum lot size or minimum width standards. It would have to comply <br /> with front, side and rear yard setback requirements as well as the <br /> building height requirements. <br /> 3, SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AMENDMENTS <br /> A. Section IV-B-1 Lot Standards <br /> To clarify the application of lot standards within the Orange <br /> County Subdivision Regulations, it is recommended that the following <br /> wording for the first sentence in the first paragraph of Section IV-B-1 <br /> read as follows: <br /> "The minimum lot size shall be as required by the Orange County <br /> Land Use Plan, Orange County Zoning Ordinance or the Hillsborough Zoning <br /> Ordinance, whichever is applicable. " <br /> Collins noted for the record the receipt of several letters. <br /> Those writing in support of the 2 acre minimum lot size are Mr. William <br /> Mead, Mr. Dale Hammond, and R. R. McGregor Converse. Those writing in <br /> opposition of the 2 acre minimum lot size are Mazie Cradle, Surtronics, <br />
