The existing definitions are somewhat ambiguous as"adverse impacts"can be difficult to <br /> define(and are not defined);for example,is an increase in traffic volume of 20 trips per day"adverse"? Some <br /> people might contend that it is. Staff believes that the proposed definitions more clearly state the intent of the use <br /> type and providing examples of the types of uses adds clarity to the definition. <br /> Orange County,North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 10-15 <br />
