This will ensure a <br />continued evaluation of the traffic devices and improvements needed for the <br />area. <br />• Under current regulations you would have 10 individual parcels developed <br />independently from one another with little or no authority to promote connectivity <br />or universal traffic improvements. <br />Proposed Land Uses <br />• The proposed Land Uses for the project are consistent with what the County has <br />identified as being permitted within the MPD -CZ Zoning District and in accordance with <br />Section 5.2.3 of the UDO. <br />• With respect to expanding acceptable land uses within this area of Orange County, the <br />proposed land uses are consistent with the direction provided to planning staff by <br />elected officials and the Planning Board. <br />
