III. Enforcement The following is a list of plans, policies, and regulations currently in place aimed at addressing relevant issues: • Orange County 2030 Comprehensive Plan • Orange County Unified Development Ordinance • E-B-M Small Area Plan and Access Management Plan Consistent with adopted plans and access management practices, following is a list of criteria considered during the development review process: 1. Restrict access where possible from the functional area of intersections. 2. Control turning movements at entrances where recommended by a TIA, right-in/right-out entrance design prevents left ingress and egress turning movements. 3. Limit or share access through a proposed development in order to prevent vehicles from backing up on to the major roads and to enhance onsite circulation. 4. Space intersections and driveway access points to plan for reduced traffic conflict points as traffic congestion increases: a. Align major intersections and minor entrances with positive offset(s) to increase safety. b. Provide a limited number of strategically located median crossovers in the planning area. c. Add exclusive turn lanes where required by NCDOT. d. Provide adequate separation between traffic signals to expand road’s traffic capacity and simplify signal synchronization. 5. Where feasible along arterials and collectors, share joint entrance(s) with adjoining property owner(s) through the recordation of joint access easements with maintenance provisions by adjoining property owner(s). 6. Where feasible along arterials, provide vehicular and pedestrian connections between adjoining properties through the recordation of access easement(s) with maintenance provisions, and construct connection(s) to the boundary with adjoining undeveloped parcel(s). 7. Provide frontage roads with non-residential development/redevelopment to increase safety on arterials and collector roads, and promote non-residential development for economic benefit. 8. Provide an interconnected street network in the planning area as generally indicated on the map (FIGURE 16) 9. Provide an interior access network from identified primary access points along arterial and collector roads. 10. Accommodate transit, bicyclists and pedestrians on roadways in the planning area. 11. Limit perennial stream crossings, and impacts to wetlands and steep topographical areas. 12. Required future road cross-sections shall be subject to NCDOT and Orange County review and are incorporated in the Burlington Graham, Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization and Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization Comprehensive Transportation Plans (CTP) by reference. 43
