Article 5: Uses 8 <br /> Section 5.21: Standards for Miscellaneous Uses <br /> (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 /> SECTIONSTANDARDS FOR MISCELLANEOUS <br /> 5.21.1 Major Subdivision <br /> (A) Standards for Conditional Districts <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-118 <br />
