Staff believes this is an oversight that may have occurred in the late 1980's or <br /> 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 /> Orange County,North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 2-57 <br />
