APPLICATION SUMMARY

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.

The original matrix did not provide buffer distance requirements when uses of higher intensity such as multifamily, office, commercial, or industrial is built adjacent to less intense uses; it only provided distance requirements when less intense uses are constructed adjacent to uses of higher intensity.
