The property sought to be zoned NC -2 and LC -1 will comply with the criteria for establishment of these zoning districts as set forth in Section 4.2.8 and Section 4.2.9 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance: 1. The subject. property is located within an area designated by the adopted Comprehensive Plan'as the BH -1 Rural Neighborhood Activity Node. 2. The list of permitted uses from the Zoning ordinance's Table of Permitted Uses are limited commercial uses which would be consistent with the purpose of both the NC -2 and LC -1 zoning districts. These permitted uses, in addition to the performance and design standards of the Ordinance, will insure that no adverse impacts will occur either beyond the immediate space occupied by a building for certain uses or beyond the property boundaries for some other uses. 3. The lot size and configuration is appropriate for the method of water supply and sewage disposal systems necessary for future development of the property. 4. The Orange County Zoning Ordinance will allow a maximum of five (5.0) acres of land zoned NC--2 and a maximum of five (5.0) acres of land zoned LC -1 in an Activity Node where population density is lower and distributed more widely than in the Transition Area. The 1.92 acres sought to be zoned NC -2 and the 2.06 acres sought to be zoned LC -1 will limit the amount of land zoned NC -2 and LC -1 in this Node to five (5.0) acres each. 5. The subject property has approximately 665 feet of frontage on the south side of NC Highway 54 which is designated as an arterial on the adopted Land Use Plan.
