See Section 6.19 for standards related to CAPS. (A) All subdivisions in the Economic Development, Commercial, and /or Commercial - Industrial and/oF Indust Nodes, as identified in the Comprehensive Plan, shall submit an application in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 2.15.3(8). (B) Initial review of all subdivisions in the Economic Development, Commercial, and /or Commercial - Industrial Nodes shall be performed by the Planning Department. (C) Following review by the Planning Department all subdivisions shall follow the major subdivision preliminary plat approval procedures specified in Section 2.15.3.

(F) Additional Requirements for Hillsborough Economic Development District: (1) When a MPD -CZ rezoning petition is approved, and the tract that is subject of said rezoning is proposed to be subdivided, all provisions of Article 7 shall be satisfied. (a) The applicant may obtain approval of the subdivision simultaneously with the approval of the rezoning if sufficient information (i.e. lot lines, lot size, etc) is shown on the site plan or at a later time. (b) The subdivision shall be consistent with the terms of the MPD -CZ and Special Use Permit, Class A (as applicable) that is approved along with the rezoning petition. (c) If the Master Plan and Special Use Permit, Class A (as applicable) that is approved along with the MPD -CZ rezoning petition establishes density, floor area, impervious surface, or similar limitations on the tract that is rezoned or any portion thereof, the subdivision final plat that creates lots out of any portion of the tract so encumbered shall indicate on the face of the plat with respect to each lot such limitations or restrictions as are necessary to ensure compliance with the Master Plan and MPD -CZ rezoning approval. 9 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 1980'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. Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 2 -57
