Since the proposed changes involve an additional exception, staff is suggesting that language be added to #6 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 ( #17 and #18) in this chart. 60 Staff is suggesting this additional language be added to direct users to the section of the UDO that contains the specific standards for Class A SUPS within the Hillsborough EDD.
