Transitioning Options: <br /> <br />Natural Features. Natural features described below are available to be <br />used as Transitioning between existing single family residential <br />neighborhoods and proposed residential development with higher <br />densities. <br /> <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br /> <br />Existing topographical features such as gills and swales. <br />Wetlands, lakes, rivers, and streams. <br />County or State highways. <br />A minimum three hundred (300) foot wide, undeveloped, natural <br />distance separation. <br /> <br />Landscape Buffering. Landscape buffering is a technique available for <br />Transitioning between existing single family residential neighborhoods <br />and proposed residential developments with higher densities that uses <br />either existing or newly planted vegetation. <br /> <br />1. Determination of Buffering Attainment Level. <br /> <br /> (a) Proposed Urban Development adjacent to Existing Urban <br /> Development. This Subsection applies to proposed urban <br /> residential developments that are adjacent to an existing <br /> single family urban residential neighborhood. Matching <br /> the proposed residential development to the adjacent <br /> existing neighborhood in the following chart determines the <br /> level of buffering or "Attainment" required. The numeric <br /> attainment level is matched to the level found in the chart <br /> in Subsection 2 below. <br /> <br />Transition A ttainment Level <br /> <br /> Existing Adjacent Urban Use <br /> Vacant R-1 Zone <br />R-1 Zone NA NA <br />R-2 Zone NA Level 1 <br />R-3 Zone NA Level 2 <br /> As determined <br />PUD Zone NA <br /> necessary by the City <br /> <br />(b) <br /> <br />Proposed Urban Development adjacent to Existing Single <br />Family Rural Neighborhoods - This section applies to <br />proposed residential developments that are adjacent to <br />existing rural residential neighborhoods. Matching the <br />proposed use to the adjacent use in the following chart <br />determines the level of buffering or "Attainment" required. <br /> <br /> <br />
