Since the <br />proposed changes involve an additional exception, staff is suggesting that language be added to 45 to direct users to <br />the appropriate Section of the UDO if the users' project involves more than one non- residential principal use or <br />principal structure instead of having two separate Development Standards ( #16 and #17) in this chart. <br />57 Staff is suggesting this additional language be added to direct users to the section of the UDO that contains the <br />specific standards for Class A SUPS within the Hillsborough EDD. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 3 -55 <br />
