Orange County Board of Commissioners Page Five January 20, 1986 . industrial in that it includes packaging or assembly. It , is not unlike small manufacturing operations which donot sell on-site. It has few off-site impacts. 5. Based on all of the. above, it is my recommendation that the Board do the following: 1. Consider the zoning change application without regard to the intended use of the applicant. 2. Consider the zoning change application in the context of there already being 8 .5 acres of commercial • property in this activity node with the zoning ordinance permitting, normally, a maximum of 10 acres. 3. Direct the staff to correct the improper zoning designations in this node and any other similar errors that may exist throughout the County. • 4 . Direct the staff to develop a new use which includes the kind of business in question here and which has minimal off-site impacts. This new use should preferrably be a special use with the application criteria focused on buffers , screening, site plan review, traffic management and the like. Included in this staff review should be a recommendation concerning where this new use/special use would be permitted. The kind of use in question certainly is not a "Mom and Pop" operation. However, its impacts on the neighborhood or area where it is located are minimal because its activity is confined within a structure with little comings and goings to and from that structure. For these reasons, it seems to me, this use may be one permitted more pervasively than any other use that's not locally focused. This, of ',course, is a planning issue and should be addressed by the planning department and the Planning Board.
