Refer to Section <br />4.2.3 for land use restrictions. <br />Development within the zoning district shall be subject to all applicable use standards detailed in Article 5 and all <br />applicable development standards detailed in Article 6 of this Ordinance. <br />3 These standards are consistent with other existing zoning districts such as AR and AS and /or are consistent with <br />how other CZ districts are handled. <br />4 This statement is consistent with the statements made for other CZ districts. <br />5 An amendment to allow certain ASE -CZ uses in the Rural Buffer land use classification will be processed <br />separately. This is because revisions to the Joint Planning Area (JPA) Land Use Plan and Agreement must occur <br />before this zoning classification can be considered for the Rural Buffer. <br />6 Consistent with how similar uses /zoning districts are written. <br />These are typical of other zoning districts and seek to direct users to other applicable sections of the UDO. #3 <br />also clarifies that residential uses in the ASE -CZ district are incidental. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 3 -64 <br />
