17 <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if going forward there would be a Type A, B, and renamed <br /> Type D to C or if the plan was to skip Type C. <br /> Cy Stober said Type D could be renamed to C but that would require other text <br /> amendments elsewhere in the document. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the change is not necessary. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said there are some differences between the current Type C and <br /> Type D. She asked what the impacts of this proposed change will be. <br /> Cy Stober said it is not that significant and D will provide better buffering between land <br /> uses than what C currently does. He said C was never applied when D would not be more <br /> protective. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said one of the differences is related to evergreen trees. She <br /> asked if the higher number of trees should be brought over from C to D. <br /> Cy Stober said he understands that the purpose is that evergreen trees grow faster. He <br /> said through review and discussions with DEAPR, imposing the standards in D would require <br /> more landscaping that the situations where C is being applied today. He said they could require <br /> an evergreen in D. He said the general takeaway is that C is a smaller buffer than D and staff <br /> believes will be a greater buffer with D than currently with C. <br /> Slide #11 <br /> Proposed Amendments <br /> • 6.8.9-8 Screening <br /> —Clarify purpose and application of screening standards <br /> is to obscure foundations and equipment of multifamily <br /> or non-residential structures from public view <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> Slide #12 <br /> Proposed Amendments <br /> • 6.8.19 9 Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan <br /> —Clarify when this plan is needed and its format <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLLNA <br />
