   14.6.3   Establishing Specialized Urban Transition Buffers
      (A)   Property within Watershed Protection Overlay
         In addition to the General UTBs established above, Specialized UTBs are required by Cary's Watershed Protection Overlay (Section 4.4.6). Specialized UTBs shall overlay General UTBs, as opposed to being situated adjacent to General UTBs. The Specialized UTBs are as follows:
         (1)   Low Density Development Option
            In the event the Landowner elects to develop his property under the Low Density Development Option, as provided in Section 4.4.6(F)(1), a Specialized UTB thirty (30) feet wide shall be established adjacent to all perennial surface waters including perennial streams, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds as approximately indicated on the most recent versions of USGS 1:24,000 scale {seven and one-half (7.5) minute} quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
         (2)   High Density Development Option
            In the event the Landowner elects to develop his property under the High Density Development Option, as provided in Section 4.4.6(F)(2), a Specialized UTB one hundred feet (100') wide shall be established adjacent to all perennial surface waters including perennial streams, lakes, reservoirs and ponds as approximately indicated on the most recent versions of USGS 1:24,000 scale {seven and one-half (7.5) minute} quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
      (B)   Uses Allowed Within Specialized UTBs
         The uses allowed within Specialized UTBs are described in Table 14.6-2.
      (C)   Measurement of Specialized UTBs
         Specialized UTBs shall be measured from a point perpendicular to the bank of the perennial waters.
