b. Between all above -ground facilities (except distribution and collection facilities) and adjacent property having a residential land use designation a Type "B" buffer (reduce to Type "C" where abutting a local roadway, reduce to Type "D" buffer where abutting a thoroughfare plan roadway) (with six-foot opaque screening) as specified in Chapter 926, Landscaping, shall be provided; Note: Landscape plan exceeds the Type "B" buffer with 6' opaque feature requirement on the south and west sides of the project; and exceeds the Type "C" buffer with 6' opaque feature on the north and east sides of the project. C. All below -ground high voltage cables within a utility right-of-way shall be made known to the public through the use of signs posted therein; Note: Appropriate signs will be posted. d. In all zoning districts except the industrial districts, all equipment, machinery and facilities which cannot by their size or nature be located within an enclosed building shall be separated from adjacent properties having a residential land use designation by a Type "D" buffer (with six-foot opaque screening) as specified in Chapter 926, Landscaping; Note: All equipment will either be in a building or screened by a buffer that exceeds a Type "D" buffer. e. Driveways located in close proximity to adjacent properties having a residential land use designation shall provide a six-foot opaque screening between the driveway and adjacent property. An eight -foot opaque screen may be required if deemed necessary to mitigate noise and visual impacts. Note: The existing driveway along the south property line will be screened by the church with its new construction. Therefore, no driveway buffering is required or proposed with this plan, only buffering of the building and facilities. 16. SR 60 Corridor Criteria: The proposed development is subject to the SR 60 corridor plan. The major items of the SR 60 corridor plan are addressed below: a. Roadway Landscaping: The SR 60 corridor plan requires that any visually offensive element be screened from the adjacent properties and rights-of-way. The proposed landscape plan includes a berm and sufficient landscape material to achieve the screening of all buildings and equipment. b. Architectural Features: Specific standards for substation and similar buildings within the SR 60 corridor are now being processed as part of a package of LDR amendments. Those proposed standards are being applied to this project. Those standards allow an exemption of architectural building requirements (for electrical safety reasons) in return for increased landscaping and visual screening of the facilities. Therefore, under the "pending ordinance doctrine" the building is being exempted from meeting the SR 60 corridor plan for architectural features in return for screening the facilities from public view. The color of the building will conform to the SR 60 corridor plan. C. Signage: There will be no freestanding or facade signage onsite. 17. Lighting Plan: The proposed site lighting plan meets the SR 60 corridor plan. The site will be lit for emergency night time maintenance only,. 18. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. North: 26s' Street, vacant/RS-3 South: Westminster Presbyterian Church/RS-6 East: 581" Avenue, groves/RM-8 West: Single family home/A-1 Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners grant special exception use approval with the following condition: That prior to the issuance of a C.O., the landscape as approved with plan shall be planted.
