This will allow for larger home parks and an increase in the opportunity for additional affordable housing <br />options. Further, increasing the acreage will allow for additional units in areas of the County with more restrictive <br />density limitations (i.e. University Lake and Cane Creek Watershed Protection Overlay Districts where density is <br />typically 1 unit for every 5 acres of property). <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 3 -67 <br />
