It accomplishes the same <br /> intent as the previously proposed language. <br /> 45 This restriction currently exists within the Table of Permitted Uses(Section 5.2.2). Staff has determined that the <br /> use-specific standards section is a more appropriate place for the standard.Subsequent to the Planning Board's <br /> August 3rd recommendation,the Attorney's office suggested deletion of this language regarding accessory uses <br /> because, by definition,accessory uses are allowed in all zoning classifications, provided the permitted Principal Use <br /> can demonstrate that a proposed accessory use meets the definition of accessory use in Article 10.This revised <br /> standard would continue to prohibit stand-alone food service and drinking places but would allow such uses as <br /> accessory uses to principal uses for which a food service and drinking place is a customary and ancillary use. <br /> 46 Language updated to use exact term in the NAICS listing. <br /> 47 These standards are being proposed in order to allow for some by-right mixed-use projects in the Hillsborough <br /> EDD while ensuring the scope of the overall project is not predominantly hotels and restaurants. Projects that <br /> contain a greater percentage of accommodation and food service uses could still be permitted through the MPD- <br /> CZ or CUD process. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-80 <br />
