45 <br /> A single-family residence, for example, is still permitted by right in the various <br /> general use residential zoning districts, subject to staff review and approval. A <br /> use requiring a special use permit, such as a retreat center or a <br /> telecommunication tower, is still required to go through that process. <br /> Proposed amendments do not alter required review timeframes either. <br /> Uses permitted by right will still take approximately 7 to 30 days to review, <br /> depending on the proposed activity (i.e. single-family residence versus a non- <br /> residential land use). <br /> Uses permitted through the special use permitting process will continue to take <br /> approximately 2 '/2 to 4 months to review depending on which process is required <br /> (i.e. Class B versus Class A). <br /> 10.Does this proposal alter allowable land uses within various districts? <br /> Yes. In many non-residential zoning districts, additional land uses are going to <br /> be permitted consistent with the previously defined nature and intent of the <br /> district. <br /> For example, staff has expanded allowable land uses within the Economic <br /> Development Hillsborough Office/Retail (EDH-4) and the Economic Development <br /> Hillsborough Research and Manufacturing (EDH-5) general use zoning districts <br /> consistent with direction from the BOCC received in the fall of 2016. <br /> These districts have the following purpose/intent: <br /> • EDH-4: provide locations for high intensity office uses and supporting <br /> retail and service uses in the designated Hillsborough Economic <br /> Development District. <br /> • EDH-5: provide locations for a wide range of research, assembling, <br /> fabricating and light manufacturing activities, and such ancillary industrial <br /> activities as warehousing and distribution in the designated Hillsborough <br /> Economic Development District. <br /> Additional land uses were added consistent with defined `purpose' of each <br /> district. <br /> 11.Does this amendment establish regulations on farm operations? <br /> No. Proposed amendments do not establish new regulations inconsistent with <br /> applicable State law relating to agricultural/farming operations. <br /> 12.1 am concerned about the location of an asphalt plant in Orange County. <br /> How will they be treated if the new table is adopted? <br /> Under current regulations, an asphalt plant could be located within the Heavy <br /> Industrial (I-3) general use zoning district. <br />
