The process is still being referenced as the anticipated <br /> change in State law has not occurred. The process is listed for several uses allowed within the Economic Development general use zoning districts. This matter will be handled in a future ordinance amendment process. <br /> 17 Please note it is staff's intention to seek authorization/guidance on the consolidation of existing zoning districts in preparation for a future UD text amendment. <br /> 18 After conferring with the County's Attorney office, it was determined the use of symbols to denote development opportunities/constraints(i.e. uses prohibited for development through the Conditional Use permitting process or allowed as more than 1 principal <br /> use on a bona fide farm)would not meet legal sufficiency and could create confusion. Symbols,from here forward,shall only be used to denote the review/approval process of a given land use. Staff will be adding language in Article 5 spelling out these <br /> allowances/limitations for each individual land use. <br /> 19 At this time staff is not anticipating any major changes/modifications to these land uses. A question has arisen on the need to include 'Crop Production—Not on a Bona-Fide Farm' in the table. Staff does not believe it is necessary at this time. <br /> 20 In reviewing the table with the County's Attorney Office it has been suggested we number individual land uses to provide additional clarity. <br /> 21 Staff had originally indicated this land use was subject to additional development standards by using the'A'symbol. Upon further review, it was determined there was no need for additional 'use standards'for this activity. The use is permitted by right subject to <br /> the issuance of a simple zoning permit. <br /> 22 Refer to Footnote 19 for explanation. <br /> 23 Staff is recommending'Composting Operations' be combined into 1 land use category with specific language in Article 5 outlining when grinding operations will and will not be allowed and what standards said operations will have to abide by. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-21 <br />
