Therefore, it is redundant to state that drive - throughs are <br />allowed in the Efland Interstate overlay district. <br />14 The Efland Area Resident Group reviewed existing sign regulations and believed they are sufficient for the <br />Interstate Overlay district except that signs should be allowed to be larger than existing regulations allow (existing <br />regulations allow signs up to 32 square feet). <br />" Please see footnoted explanations for the Efland Interstate overlay district as they apply to this section as well. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 6 -34 <br />
