0 The "Chapel Hill Township Architectural Survey: Final Report"; 0 The "Orange County Multiple Property Documentation Form: Historic Resources of Orange County"; 0 "An Archaeological Survey of Portions of Orange County, N.C."; 0 A required environmental assessment or environmental impact statement; and/or 0 An independent site study conducted by a trained architectural historian or archaeologist. Where a historic or archaeological site is to be set aside as a separate lot, and preserved and/or restored as part of a flexible development, the entire area within the lot maybe credited toward meeting the minimum open space requirement. • Wildlife Corridors as identified by Section 2.2 of the most recent Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. • Expansion of anv of these areas • A single, connected area of open space that meets one or more of the provided definitions of Primary Conservation Area maybe expanded by up to 20% of its area to provide an additional buffer. Although the expanded area might not meet any other definitions of Primary Conservation Area, it may be considered as such, except that: a) Expansion areas may not be, in turn, expanded under this provision, b) Expansion areas may not be selected as Primary Conservation Area unless all site areas meeting any other Primary Conservation Area definition have already been selected as open space, and E} Expansion areas must be in the same natural state as the Primary Conservation Area that is being expanded. c. Secondary Conservation Areas ^ ~~' ^~+'~° ~ "^•-~'"^ "'*° ~ ^+""°" When the 33% open space requirement is not filled by Primary Conservation Area, this secondary set of criteria is used to complete the requirement. Secondary Conservation Area has fewer locational restrictions, allowing more flexibility in choosing open space that will improve the functionality of the site's overall open space plan. These areas, unless specified otherwise, receive full credit toward meeting the minimum open space requirement of Flexible Developments. Access -Open space maybe chosen as a Secondary Conservation Areas because of its benefit in providing open space access to residential lots in accordance with regulations listed in Section C.4. These areas shall also include desired compositional and size and shape attributes, as listed in this section.
