• <br />• <br />• <br />Transitioning Options: <br />a. 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 />1. Existing topographical features such as hills and swales. <br />2. Wetlands, lakes, rivers, and streams. <br />3. County and State highways, or Metropolitan State Aid (MSA) <br />collector streets. <br />4. A minimum three hundred (300) foot wide, undeveloped, natural <br />distance separation that will not be eligible for future development. <br />b. 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 />1. Determination of Buffering Attainment Level. <br />Transition Attainment Level <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 />(b) 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 />2 <br />Existing Adjacent Urban Use <br />Vacant <br />R -1 Zone <br />Proposed Use <br />R -1 Zone <br />NA <br />NA <br />R -2 Zone <br />NA <br />Level 1 <br />R -3 Zone <br />NA <br />Level 2 <br />PUD Zone <br />NA <br />As determined <br />necessary by the City <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />Transitioning Options: <br />a.
