The Narrative indicates the Project will comply with the provision(s) <br /> of Section(s) 6.13 Stream Buffers and 6.21 Flood Regulations of <br /> the UDO.

The Narrative appears to indicate the Project will comply with the <br /> provision(s) of Section(s) 6.14 Stormwater and 6.15 Erosion <br /> Control of the UDO. <br /> Orange County Erosion Control and Stormwater Management <br /> staffs are reviewing the proposed conditions.

Willing Road, the Interstate, etc.); <br /> ii. Vehicular use areas (i.e. access drive-isle, parking, loading berths): <br /> 1. 100 ft. from residentially zoned property (i.e. the property <br /> north of the Project); <br /> 2. 50 ft. from all other property lines/external public rights-of- <br /> way; <br /> 3. Staff is recommending all internal setbacks be 20 ft. <br /> iii. Signage: the proposed setbacks appear reasonable. Having said <br /> that, staff would like to discuss the potential need for more <br /> restrictive setbacks for signs exceeding 48 ft. Specifically, staff is <br /> looking to address potential impacts from a large sign becoming <br /> compromised and collapsing. <br /> 11 <br />
