Article 5: Uses <br /> Section 5.22: Standards for miscellaneous uses <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Orange County, North Carolina – Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-178 <br /> <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 /> <br />SECTION 5.22: STANDARDS FOR MISCELLANEOUS USES <br />5.22.1 Major Subdivision249 <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.
