Page 98 RR-P69: A MPR should be physically and, for the most part, visually separated from the nearest developed area. RR-P70: A substantial physical buffer should be included in a MPR’s internal site design, allowing adjacent lands to be separated from the MPR so that activities within the MPR create no significant increases in ambient noise, reductions in air quality, or visual alterations outside the MPR. To the extent possible, natural features such as water bodies, vegetation cover, slopes, or existing man-made features should be utilized as the MPR’s buffer. The actual width of a MPR’s buffer should be evaluated to determine the appropriate separation from adjacent lands. The term “substantial physical buffer” is intended to mean more than one- hundred feet between a MPR’s perimeter and adjacent lands. RR-P71: A MPR should maintain and enhance the physical environment. Planning for a MPR should be based on natural systems, constraints, and opportunities. Design characteristics should consider the overall context of the MPR, maintaining a common character throughout the project, which blends with natural features on-site. RR-P72: An application for a MPR, a sub-area plan for an existing resort, should include site plans depicting the locations and describing the attributes of all on-site and surrounding natural features, critical plant and animal habitats, and potentially hazardous areas. The plan should propose opportunities to integrate the site’s natural amenities with the proposed built amenities. RR-P73: Historic and archeological features are to be preserved. Serious consideration should be given to whether such features could be appropriately integrated into a MPR’s proposed features as valuable attributes. RR-P74: A design theme for a MPR may be appropriate but is not required. However, multiple discordant themes should be avoided. RR-P75: Natural and man-made recreational facilities and opportunities shall be the central focus of a MPR. RR-P76: Recreational facilities will be included with initial development phases of a MPR. RR-P77: Recreational facilities and visitor accommodations should be phased along with other types of development within a MPR. RR-P78: A MPR will include significant recreational areas and facilities on-site so that the use of off-site recreational areas and facilities by resort visitors and associated impacts are minimized. RR-P79: A MPR will have a primary focus on short-term visitor accommodations, including vacation and second homes. Other residential uses may be permitted within a MPR if such uses are integrated into and support the on-site recreational nature of the resort. RR-P80: Short-term visitor accommodations should constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of all resort accommodation units. RR-P81: Short-term visitor accommodations, such as hotel rooms, should be included with the first and initial phases of a MPR development.
