[Durham INC] FW: Notice for TC1400002 for September 9, 2014, Planning Commission

[Melissa Rooney]

I am concerned about 'modifications to the buffer requirements' - does this mean staff is working on reducing buffer protections?

Given all the piece-meal changes over the years and the resulting developments, which were not supposed to exist as they are if they followed the UDO and Comp Plan initially devised by citizens and developers, 

I think that a complete overhaul of  the UDO and Comp plan needs to be done (with citizens involved) and that the resulting documents need to be adhered to and not altered piecemeal for development interests moving forward.

(don't know why things started being italicized all of a sudden)

One example is the Wendy's on Hillsborough Road. It's IL, adjacent to I (which is, I think, the only circumstance when the reduced buffer would kick in). Wendy's wants to build a new restaurant but the currently required buffers take much of the site. 

I understand that staff is working on a review and modifications to buffer rules, but this is viewed as an interim patch.

>Text Change TC1400002 is a privately-initiated request to amend Section 9.4, Project Boundary Buffers,to reduce the required project boundary buffer only for properties of four acres or less, zoned Industrial Light (IL), and adjacent to developed properties without a buffer in the Industrial (I) zoning district. The amendment would reduce a potential 100% buffer opacity to 40% opacity, with a corresponding reduction to the buffer width.
