<br />rendering) plants, including meat, poultry and fish; and, concrete mixing plants. 129
<br />Infiltration
<br />The absorption of stormwater run -off into the ground. Infiltration allows for pollutants to be filtered from
<br />the water prior to its reaching the groundwater table, preventing the deposit of the pollutants directly into
<br />drinking water supplies.
<br />Institutional Use

<br />or government owned or operated building, structure, or land used for public purpose.

<br />defined by applicable North Carolina statutory and case law.
<br />Junk Yard
<br />An establishment operated or maintained for the purpose of storing, dismantling, salvaging, recycling,
<br />buying or selling scrap or used materials such as paper, metals, rubber, rags, glass, wrecked, used or
<br />dismantled products and articles, such as machinery, vehicles, appliances and the like.

<br />Motor Vehicles which do not display a current license plate or a current registration sticker and which
<br />either: (a) are partially dismantled or wrecked, or (b) cannot be self - propelled or moved in the manner in

<br />Kennel (Class I)
<br />An establishment that maintains more than five but less than 20 animals of any species, excluding
<br />domesticated livestock, for the purpose of showing, competition, hunting, or sport.
<br />Kennel (Class ll)
<br />129 Staff is suggesting that the definitions for the three types of Industrial uses (Light, Medium, and Heavy) be
<br />amended as shown. The existing definitions are somewhat ambiguous as "adverse impacts" can be difficult to
<br />define (and are not defined); for example, is an increase in traffic volume of 20 trips per day "adverse "? Some
<br />people might contend that it is. Staff believes that the proposed definitions more clearly state the intent of the use
<br />type and providing examples of the types of uses adds clarity to the definition
