An accessory building containing up to 1088 1,500 <br />square feet may be utilized in the RC2 AR 2Rd R-4 <br />residential zoning districts, detailed in Section 3.3,9 <br />provided that the bUild+ng structure is built with suitable <br />residential construction materials to resemble has the <br />appearance of a residential accessory structure.10 <br />b. The accessory structure must be screened from view of <br />the road and adjacent property by a densely planted <br />evergreen hedge of shrubs or trees. In lieu of an <br />evergreen hedge, a six foot stockade fence and <br />deciduous plant materials vegetation planted along the <br />outside of the fence may be used for screening <br />purposes. Screening will not be required when: <br />i. The accessory structure is located 40 feet or <br />more from all property lines; or <br />6 Existing standards regulating the number of hourly and daily trips were found to be inconsistent with <br />proposed language regulating the number of students customers and /or clients permitted onsite per day. <br />As a result revisions will allow for an increase in the number of daily trips resulting from the operation of <br />the home occupation Proposed standards are to regulate the number of daily trips generated from <br />employees and visitors associated with the home occupation and not the number of daily trips generated <br />from the residential use of the property. Please note that a "trip count' is one direction only (a round trip, <br />in and out is counted as two trips in traffic engineering calculations). Additional revisions shall allow for <br />an increase in deliveries while limiting the type of vehicle to a size normally used for household deliveries. <br />'Weight standards have been modified replacing load capacity with the more common and familiar <br />vehicle gross weight standard. The proposed weight of 14,000 pounds will allow for the use of standard <br />and larger sized pick -up trucks in connection with all home occupations. <br />e Staff recommends the existing language to be revised in order to a avoid a potential inconsistency with <br />standards contained within item a. <br />9 Revised standards are proposed to allow the use of accessory structures up to 1,500 feet in all <br />residential districts contained within Section 3.3, Residential Districts, instead of limiting this use to only <br />the RB, AR, and R -1 districts. <br />10 Revisions will clarify concerns raised at the Quarterly Public Hearing regarding existing language <br />addressing the appearance of accessory structures Standards require accessory structures to be <br />constructed with suitable residential construction materials in order to avoid commercially designed <br />structures to be located in a residential zoning district. Existing and proposed standards do not require <br />accessory structures to take on the exact appearance of the residential structure. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 5 -36 <br />
