As proposed revisions in Section 5.2 show, <br /> staff is recommending that single-family and two-family dwellings be removed as permitted uses in this district. As <br /> such, references on this page to these types of residential uses are being shown for deletion. <br /> 8 In order to promote economic development opportunities, Staff is suggesting removing the 5 acre maximum lot <br /> size and lowering the minimum lot size to 1 acre. A 2-acre minimum lot size for projects that must be located on <br /> public water and sewer(see#2 under Applicability) is relatively large. <br /> 9 This is the existing density stipulated in Section 5.2 for multi-family residential in the Hillsborough EDD. Staff is <br /> recommending that single-family and duplex residential uses be removed as a permitted use in this district and <br /> that multi-family uses would be permitted only as a small component of a multi-use development(see proposed <br /> Section 5.5.10) <br /> 10 Removal of[1]will cause subsequent renumbering and updates to the relevant note number in the table to the <br /> right. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 3-56 <br />
