Subd. 1. Whenever, in any zoning district, a use is neither permitted nor allowed through a conditional or interim use permit reference, the use shall be considered prohibited. In such cases, the City Council, Planning Commission or property owner may request a study by the city to determine if the use is acceptable and, if so, what zoning would be most appropriate and the determination as to conditions and standards relating to development of the use. The study shall include consideration of the adopted comprehensive plan of the city. The city's Planning Commission, upon receipt of the staff study, may initiate an amendment to this chapter to provide for the particular use under consideration, or may find that the use is not compatible for development within the district or the city.
Subd. 2. Every part of a required yard shall be open to the sky unobstructed, except for minor and temporary structures and the ordinary projection of sills, cornices, roof overhangs, gutters and ornamental features projected not more than 48 inches; except that in commercial areas, a permanent awning and its accessory columns or struts may project not more than five feet into a required front or side yard.
Subd. 3. Only one principal use is allowed per lot or parcel unless mixed uses, multi-family dwellings or other such uses are explicitly allowed for that zoning district.
