This section seems to have been <br />written only with new construction in mind. However, denoting the location of these items has always been asked <br />by staff or else impervious surface could not be calculated for a lot. Additionally, some structure types are <br />required by the building code to be a certain distance from other structures so without the information on the plot <br />plan, it would be impossible for staff to determine compliance. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 2 -8 <br />
