Cluster development permits more efficient development by creating lots with gross <br /> land areas smaller than those required for conventional lot-by-lot development, yet maintains application <br /> of normal lot density standards to the subdivided tract as a whole by requiring that land area saved by lot <br /> size reductions be reserved as permanent open space and/or recreation space. <br /> Cold Storage Facility <br /> A facility used to warehouse perishable foods and products prior to transport. <br /> Commercial-Industrial 'ansition Activity Node Land <br /> Land near major transportation routes that could be provided with public water and wastewater services <br /> and is appropriate for retail and other commercial uses; manufacturing and other industrial uses; office <br /> and limited (not to exceed 25% of any Node) higher density residential uses. <br /> Commercial ransition Activity Node Land <br /> Land focused on designated road intersections within either a 10- or 20-year transition area that is <br /> appropriate for retail and other commercial uses. <br /> Common Area <br /> A portion of a development not attributed to an individual lot or owner that is designed for the common <br /> usage of the subdivision or development. These areas include Common Open Spaces, entry features, <br /> subdivision facilities, mail kiosks, sidewalks, parking lots, and walkways. Construction and maintenance of <br /> such areas is the responsibility of the homeowner'/property owners' association. <br /> Common Open Space <br /> Privately held land area set aside, dedicated, owned, and maintained for common use, access, and <br /> enjoyment of multiple owners. This type of open space is held within a defined lot or a defined easement <br /> area. It may be either restricted to the owners via homeowner'/property owners' association (HOA/POA), <br /> or open to others as specified by the association. <br /> • Primary Open Space: <br /> These areas have sensitive environmental features and/or significant cultural resource areas, which <br /> may make them legally or practically unbuildable. These areas are reserved for passive uses (e.g., <br /> forests, pastures, meadows) and low impact active uses (e.g., trails, natural observation). <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 10-6 <br />
