(feet) 200 <br />PURPOSE <br />Front Setback,from <br />ROW, min. (feet) 50 <br />The purpose of the Economic Development Hillsborough Limited <br />Office with Residential (EDH-3) District is to provide locations for low <br />to moderate intensity office uses and supporting services in the <br />designated Hillsborough Economic Development District. The <br />district may contain low to moderate density multi-family residential <br />uses (1-8 6-12 units per acre)9. <br />APPLICABILITY Side Setback, min. (feet) 20 [2] <br />This district will usually be applied where the following conditions <br />exist: <br /> <br />1. This district will be applied in the Hillsborough Economic <br />Development District. <br /> <br />2. This district shall only be applied where water and sewer are <br />available at the site or are to be made available to the site as part of <br />the development approval process. EXCEPTION: Single-family lots <br />located south of I-40 may use ground absorption septic systems on <br />minimum size lots of 40,000 square feet provided at least 33% of the <br />tract is preserved as open space. <br />Corner Setback, min. <br />(feet) 50 [2] [3] <br />Rear Setback, min.

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 /> 25
