Article 5: Uses <br /> Section 5.5: Standards for Residential Uses <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Orange County, North Carolina – Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-49 <br /> <br />(e) A temporary custodial care unit shall be required to connect to water, <br />wastewater, and electric utilities serving the principal structure on the <br />property. <br />(f) The Orange County Health Department, or the agency that provides <br />sanitary sewer and water services, shall approve water and wastewater <br />disposal facilities. <br />(g) All applicable state and local approvals and permits shall be procured <br />including, but not limited to, a zoning compliance permit, building <br />permits, and health department approval. <br />(h) Approval of the application shall not exceed one year. Annual renewal <br />shall require a new application and recertification from a licensed <br />physician stating the necessity of direct care. <br />(i) Any approved temporary custodial care unit shall be removed no later <br />than 180 days after the time the mentally or physically impaired <br />person(s) is no longer receiving care or is in need of assistance. If the <br />structure is needed for a different impaired person, the temporary <br />custodial care unit may continue to be used, subject to the requirements <br />of this Ordinance. <br />(j) The caregiver shall allow inspections of the property by the County at <br />times convenient to the caregiver, during reasonable hours, and upon <br />prior notice for compliance purposes. <br />(k) A permit for a temporary custodial care unit may be revoked by the <br />Planning Director due to failure of the applicant to comply with any of the <br />above provisions. <br />5.5.10 Multi-Family30 <br />(A) Standards for EDH-3 and EDH-4 Zoning Districts <br />(1) Multi-family uses are permitted in the EDH-3 and EDH-4 zoning districts only in <br />accordance with the following standards: <br />(a) The multi-family use is part of an overall site plan that includes at least <br />one other permitted Principal Use 31. <br />(i) The other permitted Principal Use(s) must be established prior <br />to, or concurrent with, the multi-family use(s). <br />(b) The square footage of the structure(s), or portion of structures, to be <br />used utilized 32 for multi-family dwellings does not exceed 25% of the total <br />square footage of all structures included on the overall site plan. <br />(c) The square footage of the structure(s), or portion of structures, to be <br />used utilized for uses that are subject to square footage restrictions in <br />the pertinent zoning district(s), as detailed in Article 5 of this Ordinance, <br />does not exceed 50% of the total square footage of all structures <br />included on the overall site plan. <br /> <br />30 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 multi-family residential. Projects that <br />contain a greater percentage of multi-family residential could still be permitted through the MPD-CZ or CUD <br />process. <br />31 The County Attorney’s office suggested that “principal use” be capitalized in a different text amendment. <br />Planning staff is changing it out in this text amendment in an attempt to keep language in the UDO as consistent as <br />possible. <br />32 The County Attorney’s office suggested this wording in a different text amendment.
