Key Intent
• Ensure Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) standards comply with NC General
Statute requirements.
• Adjust the parking ratio requirement for the use of Warehouse so it is better
aligned with the needs of warehouse developments common in this area.
• Allow administrative changes to required parking lot landscaping when there are
conflicts with utilities or other required improvements.
• Clarify the applicability of street-yard requirements for commercial land uses that
do not require off-street parking.
• Clarify the mixed-use residential standards for commercial districts by adding a
new use and definition for mixed-use dwellings.
Changes
• Removed size limitation and building material requirement for
Accessory Dwelling Units to meet NC General Statute 160D-702.
• Reduced the parking ratio requirement for Warehouses to match
development trends based on parking data from warehouses built
over the last 5 years.
• Added a provision to allow staff-level administrative modifications to
parking lot landscaping requirements that meet the intent of the
ordinance.
• Clarified that new commercial land uses with vehicle storage that
do not have minimum parking requirements such as Bus and Taxi
Terminals, Commercial Parking Lots, and RV and Boat Storage
Lots are required to provide street yard landscaping.
• Added a new “mixed-use dwelling” classification to specify that
residential uses are only allowed as part of an integrated mixed-use
development or development that includes a mix of both residential
and commercial uses.
