Analysis: In the event that driveways need to be constructed wider than the current 25 feet allowed by the Transit Zoning Code, permit approval of alternate driveway standards to satisfy Orange County Fire Authority and/or refuse collection requirements. Alternate driveway standards shall be reviewed on a case - by -case basis. • Provides for administrative relief in the event that driveways need to be constructed wider than what the current code allows. • Creates flexible options to provide access to parking structures and refuse collection areas in a single, co -located location within a development. Proposed Amendment: Amend Tables TV-4, DT-5, UC-4, CDR-4, UN2-4, and UN1-4 to include the following footnote: [a] Except as modified to meet fire and trash service requirements. Upper Story Setback Issue: In the Downtown District the Transit Zoning Code requires a 100-foot setback for portions of buildings between 7 and 10 stories, while many lots in the downtown p. 3-4 TZC Section 41-2011 area have a lot depth of only 120 feet. Blocks in the Downtown District are small Table DT-3 (Downtown District) with depths and widths on average of 250 feet by 250 feet. The 100-fact setback Building Height and Frontage from a public right-of-way severely limits development potential and building Requirements design. Footnote [I] Analysis: Modifying the development standard to eliminate the 100-foot setback requirement for portions of buildings between 7 to 10 stories. • Establishes a development standard that allows lots with only 120 feet depth to be redeveloped. • Provides additional standardization of Transit Zoning Code development standards by eliminating internal inconsistencies within the plan. Proposed Amendment: Eliminate footnote [1 ] Table DT-3. 75G-4
