5• uses or activities. Orange County recognizes that application of the standards set forth in this manual may limit the feasibility of specific uses within the broad categories due to land area or design feature requirements. Where one or more specific uses have been included in the table,there are circumstances under which such uses would be appropriate within an Economic Development District." The Permitted Use Table contained in Section 2.2 has been revised to include this statement. (Attachment 2) 4. Amend Section 2.3 of the Economic Development Districts Design Manual to increase the Site Volume Ratio by 1.0 for all development within the Secondary II area. This would have the affect of requiring additional landscape volume to soften the transition between the EDD and residential areas to the south.

The intensity or impacts of industrial use depends on the nature of the specific activity. For example, electronics assembly would be considered an industrial use, but would have little potential for pollution, high water use, or other impacts which are often perceived as being associated with industrial activity. A draft revision to Section 2.3 (Land Use Intensity) has been included which addresses this recommendation. (Attachment 4) 5. Amend requirements in the Design Manual related to the use of communication equipment. The Design Manual currently prohibits communication equipment which would be considered a principal use, such as radio or TV transmitting towers and cellular telephone towers in Economic Development Districts. Roof-top radio, TV, and microwave antennas and towers which are accessory to the principal use are also prohibited. In order to be more responsive to current technology, the Work Group recommends that communication equipment which is accessory to the principal use be allowed as follows: a) Dish antennas would be allowed on the ground or on roof-tops. If on the ground,landscape screening would be required. If on the roof, screening would be accomplished through architectural design of the roof. In both cases, visibility of the antennas would be minimized.
