Additionally, non-residential uses are restricted based)on <br /> the Watershed Protection Overlay District in which the property is located. Refer to Section 4.2.3 for land <br /> use restrictions. <br /> 2. Development within the zoning district shall be subject to all applicable use standards detailed in Article 5 <br /> and all applicable development standards detailed in Article 6 of this Ordinance. See Sections 6.2.5 and <br /> 6.2.6 if more than one principal use or principal structure is proposed on a non-residential zoning lot.28 <br /> 27 The Commercial-Industrial Land Use category is a discrete category on the Land Use and Zoning Matrix <br /> contained in Appendix F of the County's Comprehensive Plan but it is not described as a separate category and is <br /> not consistently referred to in the UDO. Staff believes this is an oversight that may have occurred in the late 1980's <br /> or 1990's when the Comprehensive Plan was changed to include a combined Commercial-Industrial Activity Node <br /> category on the Land Use Element Map and on the matrix,but other necessary updates were not made. Staff <br /> considers this to be a"clean-up"or"housekeeping"amendment to reflect intent and interpretation which will <br /> provide clarity and conciseness to the regulations. Note that a Comprehensive Plan amendment is also proposed as a <br /> separate item to fix these inconsistencies. <br /> 28 Changes to Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 are proposed(see relevant portion of this amendment package). Since the <br /> proposed changes involve an additional exception,staff is suggesting that language be added to#2 to direct users to <br /> Orange County,North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 3-38 <br />
