(1) Outdoor storage of products shall be permitted in the rear yard of the primary <br />structure and shall be screened from view of adjacent properties. <br />(2) Outdoor storage areas shall not be permitted to encroach upon required parking <br />spaces. <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-CD. <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 />5.20.3 Tobacco and Hemp Retail <br />(A) Use Standards <br />(1) Tobacco and Hemp Retail uses must be located at least 1,000 feet from the <br />following land uses: <br />(a) Tobacco and Hemp Retail; <br />(b) Schools, including: <br />(i) Schools: Performing Arts, Sports, and Recreation, <br />(ii) Schools: Preparatory, <br />(iii) Schools: Technical, Trade, and Skill Training, and <br />(iv) Schools: Universities, Colleges; <br />(c) Parks and Recreational Facilities; and <br />(d) all Residential Uses. <br /> <br />SECTION 5.21: STANDARDS FOR MISCELLANEOUS USES <br />5.21.1 Major Subdivision <br />(A) Standards for Conditional Districts <br />94
