7/20/2017

In the locations shown on Map 5 (Upland Connections and Visual Corridors) in Appendix A of this Chapter, #upland
connections# shall be provided. An #upland connection# traversing a #zoning lot# in Subareas A, B and C shall consist of a
single circulation path bordered continuously along both sides by buffer zones.

(a)   Required dimensions

        The minimum width of the #upland connection# shall be 30 feet. When an #upland connection#, or a portion thereof,
        abuts a private driveway, no buffer zone is required.

(b)    Buffer zone

        The buffer zone is a landscaped area running along the edge of the #upland connection# that bounds the boundary of
        the non-public portions of the #zoning lot#; each buffer zone shall have a minimum width of seven feet. The buffer zone
        shall be improved entirely as planting area, except at locations:

        (1)    occupied by permitted obstructions; or

        (2)    where there is ground floor #commercial use# frontage on the #upland connection#, in which case that portion
               of the buffer zone may be paved.

(c)   Permitted obstructions

        The provisions of Section 62-611 (Permitted obstructions) shall apply to #upland connections# within Subarea B, the
        #Esplanade#, #Pier Place# and the #Cove#. The permitted obstructions listed in paragraph (b)(2) of Section 62-611 are
        further subject to the tree and planting requirements of Section 62-655. Water-Dependent (WD) #uses# referenced in
        paragraph (a)(6) of Section 62-611 shall be as listed in Section 62-211.
