This <br />district would include a set of general and specific standards for development to be reviewed <br />concurrent with the special use rezoning and permit. This district would be requested by a <br />property owner that was interested in other uses other than EDD Limited/Office such as <br />commercial or office-flex through a concurrent special use rezoning and special use permit <br />process. <br />There would be three primary land use patterns that could be requested in this district through a <br />Planned Development procedure. <br />1. EDD Office -Office Flex (O-OF) -Combination of office and light industrial, and distribution, <br />manufacturing. <br />2. EDD Office -Medium Density Residential (O-MDR) -Combination of office and residential of <br />4-8 dwelling units per acre. <br />3. EDD -Mixed Use (EDD-MU) -Combination of office, office flex, retail and high density <br />residential (HDR) 8-12 dwelling units per acre: <br />This land use pattern creates an intensity that would meet the threshold of atransit-oriented <br />development (TOD) and the focal point of the Orange County/Hillsborough EDD which is <br />anticipated at the northeast corner of I-~0 and Old NC 86. <br />
