The names and addresses of <br />property owners shall be based on the current listing as shown in the <br />Orange County Land Records system. <br />(b) Development Schedule <br />A statement, from the applicant, indicating the anticipated development <br />schedule for the build out of the project. <br />(c) Water and Wastewater <br />(i) If the proposed lots are to be served by a public water system, <br />proof of water supply and service availability in the form of a <br />certified copy of a resolution to that effect enacted by the <br />governing body of the water system providing the water to serve <br />the lots in the subdivision. <br />(ii) If the proposed lots are to be served by a public sewer system <br />proof of public sewer service availability in the form of a certified <br />copy of a resolution to that effect enacted by the governing body <br />of the sewer system providing the sewer service to the lots in the <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />15 In reviewing other example Ordinances height limits can range from 50 to 75 feet.  Staff selected 50 feet as it is  <br />more consistent with existing height limits in other general use zoning districts.  <br />16 In recommending this standard staff understands there will be concerns over potential conflicts created with the  <br />preservation/planting of vegetation and aircraft safety (i.e. approach and take off patterns).  Our goal is to require  <br />a sufficient land use buffer to shield adjacent property owners from the impacts of an Airport – General Aviation  <br />facility and confine runaway areas to the interior portion of the AP‐CZ District in an attempt to mitigate noise,  <br />vibration, and visual impacts.    <br /> 67
