Article 5: Uses 157 <br /> Section 5.22: Standards for miscellaneous uses <br /> (3) All structures and outdoor storage areas shall be located a minimum of 100 feet <br /> from adjacent residentially zoned property. <br /> (4) The site shall be located on a major road, as classified in the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan, unless permitted as an ASE-CZ. <br /> (5) Parking shall not be located in the front yard space. <br /> (6) Application materials shall include a comprehensive groundwater study, for <br /> facilities expected to use more groundwater on an annual basis than an average <br /> single family residence (which uses 240 gallons of water per day) built at the <br /> highest density the existing zoning district would allow. For example, if the <br /> existing zoning district allows a residential density of 1 unit for 2 acres and the <br /> proposed use is on a six acre parcel (which could yield 3 residences), the <br /> Proposed use(s) may use three times the water used by an average single family <br /> residence (or 720 gallons per day, on an annualized basis) before a <br /> comprehensive groundwater study is required. The water usage rates of any <br /> existing use subject to zoning regulations located on the same lot shall be taken <br /> into account when determining if a comprehensive groundwater study is required. <br /> Said study shall detail: <br /> (a) The amount of water anticipated to be used on a daily, weekly, monthly, <br /> and annual basis by regulated uses located on the parcel (e.g., water <br /> usage by bona fide farm uses is not required to be included); <br /> (b) An analysis of the amount of groundwater withdrawal considered to be <br /> safe and sustainable in the immediate vicinity; and <br /> (c) An analysis of whether other wells in the vicinity of the proposed use are <br /> expected to be affected by withdrawals made by the proposed use. <br /> 5.22.1 Major Subdivision217 <br /> (A) Standards for Class A Special Use Permit <br /> (1) Submittal Requirements <br /> In addition to the information required in Section 2.7, the following shall be <br /> submitted as part of the application: <br /> (a) Notification <br /> Stamped envelopes addressed to each owner of property within 500 feet <br /> of the property proposed for subdivision. The names and addresses of <br /> property owners shall be based on the current listing as shown in the <br /> Orange County Land Records system. <br /> (b) Development Schedule <br /> A statement, from the applicant, indicating the anticipated development <br /> schedule for the build out of the project. <br /> (c) Water and Wastewater <br /> (i) If the proposed lots are to be served by a public water system, <br /> proof of water supply and service availability in the form of a <br /> certified copy of a resolution to that effect enacted by the <br /> governing body of the water system providing the water to serve <br /> the lots in the subdivision. <br /> 217 Standards moved from 5.17.6 of this Ordinance to a new Miscellaneous Uses category.
