Uses shall be restricted to those indicated for the 1-1 District in Section 5.2, unless a Conditional Use(CU)or MPD-CZ District is approved(see Section 3.8). Additionally, non-residential uses are restricted based on the Watershed Protection Overlay District in which the property is located. Refer to Section 4.2.3 for land use restrictions. 2. Development within the zoning district shall be subject to all applicable use standards detailed in Article 5 and all applicable development standards detailed in Article 6 of this Ordinance. See Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 if more than one principal use or principal structure is proposed on a non-residential zoning Iot.24 23 The Commercial-Industrial Land Use category is a discrete category on the Land Use and Zoning Matrix contained in Appendix F of the County's Comprehensive Plan but it is not described as a separate category and is not consistently referred to in the UDO. Staff believes this is an oversight that may have occurred in the late 1.980's or 1990's when the Comprehensive Plan was changed to include a combined Commercial-Industrial Activity:node category on the Land Use Element Map and on the matrix,but other necessary updates were not made. Staff considers this to be a"clean-up"or"housekeeping"amendment to reflect intent and interpretation which will provide clarity and conciseness to the regulations. Note that a Comprehensive Plan amendment is also proposed as a separate item to fix these inconsistencies. 24 Changes to Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 are proposed(see relevant portion of this amendment package). Since the proposed changes involve an additional exception,staff is suggesting that language be added to 92 to direct users to Orange County,North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 3-34
