59-C-7.15. Compatibility.

   (a)   All uses must achieve the purposes set forth in section 59-C-7.11 and be compatible with the other uses proposed for the planned development and with other uses existing or proposed adjacent to or in the vicinity of the area covered by the proposed planned development.

   (b)   In order to assist in accomplishing compatibility for sites that are not within, or in close proximity to a central business district or transit station development area, the following requirements apply where a planned development zone adjoins land for which the area master plan recommends a one-family detached zone:

      (1)   No building other than a one-family detached residence can be constructed within 100 feet of such adjoining land; and

      (2)   No building can be constructed to a height greater than its distance from such adjoining land.

   (c)   A waiver of the requirement of paragraph (b) (1), may be permitted if:

      (1)   The area master plan recommends other than a one-family detached use for the property immediately adjoining the area where the waiver is to occur; and

      (2)   The immediately adjoining property will not be adversely affected by the waiver for present or future use.

   (d)   A waiver of subsection (b) may be permitted if:

      (1)   The site is within or in close proximity to a central business district or transit station development area and reduced setbacks are recommended by the master or sector plan, and the Planning Board finds that the reduced setbacks are compatible with existing or proposed development in the adjoining or confronting one-family detached zones; or

      (2)   The site is within or in close proximity to a historic district and the Planning Board finds that reduced setbacks or increased building height will facilitate the preservation, reuse, or redevelopment of a designated historic district and the immediately adjoining property will not be adversely affected by the waiver.

      (3)   The maximum building height under this waiver must not exceed 50 feet.

   (e)   Compliance with these requirements does not, by itself, create a presumption of compatibility.
