Refer to Section 4.2.3 for land <br />use restrictions. <br />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.24 <br />2s 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 />24 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 42 to direct users to <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance <br />Page 3 -34 <br />
