A.         Where a proposed land development adjoins a highway located within the Corridor Enhancement district, the Board of Supervisors may require that access to such streets be limited by one (1) of the following means:

1.   Provision of a service road parallel with and located parallel to the subject highway but located behind the minimum visual buffer (see § 208-1507).

2.   Use of reverse frontage or double frontage lot layouts featuring exclusive access from a secondary road (which may not be a corridor enhancement road as designated in § 208-1502).  The main entrance to a building on a reverse frontage or double frontage lot shall be on a building facade that faces the secondary road.

3.   Use of shared entrances with those established or likely to be required on adjacent sites to minimize curb cuts or increase spacing between curb cuts.

4.   Use of deceleration or turning lanes where access must be taken from the major highway with sufficient capacity to avoid queuing of entering vehicles on the major highway.

B.         The means of access control provided shall be that which effectively minimizes creation of new intersections and new individual site access locations along the corridors and best preserves highway traffic capacity.
