This will make Article 5 easier to understand and <br /> follow. Please note staff is not recommending a comprehensive revamping of existing standards of evaluation or <br /> submittal requirements at this time. Future amendments will address these changes. <br /> 148 Ibid. <br /> 149 Consistent with advice from the County's Attorney office we are creating/identifying a general 'use standards' <br /> section for various land uses. This was predicated on limiting the use of symbols in the table of permitted uses to <br /> only signifying review processes. Currently,the table utilizes symbols to identify development opportunities and <br /> constraints. These regulations and allowances are now being moved to the various impacted land use standards in <br /> Article 5. <br /> 150 This is existing language from the definition of a 'Special Event' in Article 10. After conferring with the County <br /> Attorney, it is more appropriate to have this limitation denoted within Article 5. <br /> 151 Bold Red Underlined text denoting existing language from Section 5.4.3 being relocated. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-42 <br />
