§ 165.023 SCHEDULE OF USE CONTROLS.

   (A)   Global use table.  

      (1)   No person shall use land or a building or structure or erect, construct, reconstruct, move or structurally alter a building, structure or part thereof, except in conformance with the following schedule of use controls.

      (2)   The use table below establishes the land uses allowed in each zoning district. Each use is given one of the following designations for each zoning district.

         (a)   Permitted Use (“P”). A “P” indicates that a use is allowed by right within the designated district provided that it meets all applicable use standards.

         (b)   Special Use (“S”). An “S” indicates that a use requires the approval of a special use permit in order to be allowed within the designated district, provided that it meets all applicable use standards.

         (c)   No designation. The absence of a letter (a blank space) or the absence of the use from the table indicates that a use is not allowed within the designated district.

      (3)   Land uses that are designated as “permitted uses” or “special uses” may have use standards that must be met, as established in § 165.025.
