Background:
Provisions in the Preservation Buffer Overlay District section of the ULDC (405.33) call for buffers around designated resources (either via the Preservation Land Use or identified as protected resources) of anywhere from 100 feet to 660 feet wide. These buffers carry with them protections as identified in Code that can limit development within the buffer. These protections can impact existing as well as proposed development, especially when related to residential construction and associated outbuildings. The proposed revisions would address these issues by providing a framework to allow development within buffer areas under certain circumstances.
