(E) Natural Buffers (1) If there is existing, healthy, natural vegetation in the area of a required buffer, it must be preserved. If the vegetation is removed for any reason, other than in accordance with an approved landscape and tree preservation plan, the dimensions of the buffer shall be increased 50% and the number of required plantings shall be increased 50%. (2) The critical root zones of trees within the buffer must be protected if the applicant seeks credit for preservation of existing trees. For example, if a required buffer has a dimensional width of 30 feet, and the critical root zone extends beyond the 30 feet, the buffer will be extended to the edge of the critical root zone in the area around the tree. (3) If necessary, a natural buffer will be supplemented with additional plantings in order to meet the Constructed Buffers standards established herein. (F) Constructed Buffers (1) If existing plantings are not sufficient to meet the buffer standards established in this Section, additional plantings shall be installed. (2) The plant units listed below will be considered comparable, and therefore interchangeable, as set forth below. Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-42
