This information was distributed at the April 7, 2014 Public Information Meeting and was the basis of discussions Orange County Planning staff had with a group of residents from August 2014 – January 2015. Efland Interstate Overlay District Easy Ref. No. Section Number in UDO Revisions Proposed Standard Explanation / Rationale 1. 4.5.3 (B)(1) The minimum side and rear setback shall be with width of the required buffer in 6.6.3(B) or the setback required in Article 3 or Section 6.2.8, whichever is less, except as provided in (a). Section 6.6.3(B) pertains to Landscaping & Buffering requirements, which are being lessened from the existing regulations that apply in this area. This will make the smaller parcels found in the area more developable and also will lead to a more “urban village” style of development than in found in areas of the county that do not have water & sewer services. 2. 4.5.3(B)(1)(a) (Referenced in standard above) For parcels subject to the setback and yard requirements in Section 4.7.4, the requirements of said Section shall apply. Section 4.7.4 pertains to the Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District (which is the areas along the interstates in Orange County). The MTC is present in some of the geographic area covered by the proposed Efland Interstate overlay district. In those cases where there is overlap, the requirements of the MTC will apply. 3. 4.5.3(B)(2) Where applicable, the front yard setback shall be measured from any future right-of-way as designated on the Orange County Thoroughfare Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The language in the standard will be updated as shown with the strikethrough/underline text. At this time, the County does not have a Comprehensive Transportation Plan that designates future right-of-way needs but anticipates developing one in the future in order to serve future roadway/transportation needs. If a parcel in the proposed overlay district area is affected by the future plan, it makes good planning and development sense to have buildings setback appropriately from anticipated future roads. Doing so both minimizes the chance that a building would have to be removed due to the need for a new road and ensures buildings are setback far enough from any future roads so that you don’t end up with a situation of having a building immediately adjacent to the roadway right-of-way line and no longer having a front yard for that parcel.
