,3 PAGE 9 05 District. Resource protection areas and agricultural areas have been identified in the plan to create conformity with the County's other township plans. There are several minor changes in the northeast corner of the plan area affecting transitions areas and activity nodes centered in Eno Township. Twenty year transition areas cover the area north of Southern Railroad, about 40 acres. The Commercial- Industrial Transition Node area in Chapel Hill Township is eliminated and the Commercial Transition Node pulled back to the Southern Railroad to avoid adverse impacts on Duke Forest. There were no public comments. 2. Zoning Ordinance Amendments a. Article 9 - Signs (Noncommercial Copy) Presentation by Marvin Collins. Section 9 .5 of the Zoning Ordinance is proposed to be amended by adding a sentence which demonstrates that the sign section does not favor commercial signs over non- , commercial signs. The United States Supreme Court has upheld the proposed wording in another sign ordinance. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment. There were no Board or public comments. b. Article 6 - Application of Dimensional Requirements (Flag Lots) C. Article 22 - Definitions (Flag Lots) Staff presentation by Marvin Collins. Section 6.2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance is proposed to be amended to add a new section addressing flag lots. Flag lots are irregularly shaped lots where the buildable area of the lot is connected to the street by a smaller narrower portion of the lot. The narrower portion extends as an arm of the lot to the street, thus the name "flag lot" . The proposed amendment will reference applicable provisions of the Orange County Subdivision Regulations which identify permitted locations and types of flag lots. Article 22 is proposed to be amended to add a definition of Flag Lot. The proposed amendment will help clarify what a flag lot is and provide a legal definition.
