body.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Town staff continues to review Chapter 3 “Land Development Regulations” of the Town Code of Ordinances in order to determine the need for any updates/revisions.
After review of the matrix for Buffer Areas, Town Staff has discovered a scrivener’s error in the standards in the land development regulations regarding buffer areas along boundaries of multifamily, non-residential and planned development lots abutting a less intensive use. It was determined that it should be revised to allow for more clarity and readability.
RECOMMENDATION
Town staff recommends approval of the proposed Amendment to the Town Land Development Regulations Section 3-102 (F), on first reading, in order to revise the Buffer Area Matrix.
