6 <br /> 5.17 Standards for Medical Uses <br /> 5.18 Standards for Miscellaneous Uses (to also be renamed) <br /> 5.19 Standards for Government Uses (also new section number) <br /> 5.20 Standards for Office and Financial Service Uses (also new section number) <br /> 5.21 Standards for Retail Uses (also new section number) <br /> 5.22 Standards for Miscellaneous Uses (also new section number) <br /> 6.9.7 Off-Street Parking Requirements <br /> 10.1 Definitions <br /> The amendments are necessary to address the legal sufficiency of the UDO with respect to the <br /> findings of NC Supreme Court case Byrd v. Franklin County by spelling out allowable and <br /> prohibited land uses. Additionally, the amendments seek to eliminate the unnecessarily repetitive, <br /> and often confusing, delineation of allowable land uses by creating a central table of permitted <br /> uses and combining similar land uses into single categories to ensure uniformity with respect to <br /> application of development criteria and permitting. <br /> The Orange County Planning Board, which began review of this item at its March 6, 2019 regular <br /> meeting, continued discussion at a special meeting on March 20. At this special meeting, the <br /> Planning Board voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the amendments with the elimination of <br /> language in Section(s) 2.10.3, 2.11.3, and 5.3.2 establishing a `burden of persuasion' for those <br /> applying for a variance, interpretation, or special use permit.
