Article 3: Base Zoning Districts 317 Section 3.7: Economic Development Districts 1. Uses shall be restricted to those indicated for the EDE -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. Uses Permitted by Right require the approval of a Site Plan as outlined in Section 2.5. 2. Development projects unable to meet all Standards required for Site Plan approval may be submitted as a Conditional Use District or as a MPD -CZ (see Section 3.8). 3. The impervious surface limit in this district is 70% if detention ponds are provided. Other requirements for impervious surface are located in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.6. 4. For lots outside of a Watershed Protection Overlay District (see Section 4.2), the minimum usable lot area for lots that utilize ground absorption wastewater systems shall be 30,000 square feet for parcels between 40,000 square feet and 1.99 acres in size; zoning lots two acres and greater in size shall have a minimum usable lot area of at least 40,000 square feet. 5. 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 lot. 6. The residential density permitted on a given parcel is based on the Watershed Protection Overlay District in which the property is located. Refer to Section 4.2.4 for a breakdown of the allowable density (i.e., the number of individual dwellings that can be developed on a parcel of property). 7. Subdivisions proposing private roads are subject to larger setbacks and minimum lot sizes than those listed in the Dimensional and Ratio Standards. Refer to Section 7.8.4 for additional requirements. Refer to Section 7.8.5 for private road standards. 8. Subdivisions in the Economic Development, Commercial and /or Industrial Nodes are subject to the procedure outlined in Section 2.16. aAd the 19t is gFeateF than tw9 aGFes in size, a Glass A SpeGial Use PeFmit and Site Plan, GeRditional Use (GW) OR PaFGels less thaA Me agres in size, multiple Ren- e6ideRtial uses shall be GGRtained Wthin a s Rgle PF*RG*nal 45 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 #5 to direct users to the appropriate Section of the UDO if the users' project involves more than one non- residential principal use or principal structure instead of having two separate Development Standards ( 49 and #10) in this chart.
