§ 153.070.020 USE REGULATIONS.
   (A)   Permitted uses. Table 153.070.020 identifies the permitted uses in the MU-1 and MU-2 Zones.
   (B)   Conditional uses. Certain uses may be subject to special conditions regarding the location, operation or design of the use. References to these provisions are made in Table 153.070.020.
   (C)   Prohibited uses. If a use is not specifically listed in Table 153.070.020, that use is prohibited. However, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to determine whether the proposed use is permitted based on the finding that the use is similar to and no more detrimental than a particular use permitted in the zone.
   (D)   Mixed uses. Permitted uses identified in Table 153.070.020 may be established on a single site as an integrated project, subject to the provisions of subchapter 153.120 related to Mixed Use Development. Stand-alone commercial uses are permitted in Mixed Use Zones. In mixed use zones, all new development is required to include a commercial component.

      (1)   In the MU-1 and MU-2 Zones, no more than 50% of the ground floor shall be developed with and dedicated to residential uses.
      (2)    The following uses and activities shall not be permitted within any mixed-use development:.

         (b)   Storage of flammable liquids or hazardous materials beyond that normally associated with a residential use.
         (c)   Manufacturing or industrial activities, including but not limited to welding, machining, or any open flame work.
         (d)   Any other activity or use, as determined by the responsible review authority to not be compatible with residential activities and/or to have the possibility of affecting the health or safety of live/work unit residents due to the potential for the use to create dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gases, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration or other impacts, or would be hazardous because of materials, processes, products, or wastes.
