11-06-01: TABLE OF ALLOWED USES:
Table 11-06.1 below lists the principal uses allowed within all base zoning districts. Each of the listed uses is defined in Chapter 11-12, Definitions.
   1.   Table Organization: In Table 11-06.1, land uses and activities are classified into general "use categories" and specific "use types" based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. This classification provides a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts. This classification does not list every use or activity that may appropriately exist within the categories. Certain uses may be listed in one category when they may reasonably have been listed in one or more other categories. The use categories are intended as an indexing tool and are not regulatory.
   2.   Explanation Of Table Abbreviations:
      A.   Allowed Uses: "A" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right, without special conditions other than those imposed upon other uses by right in the district. Allowed uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this Code.
      B.   Allowed Subject To Use-Specific Standards: "A*" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right, subject to administrative review to verify compliance with use-specific standards in this chapter. Use-specific standards are noted through a cross-reference in the last column of the table. Cross-references refer to use standards in this chapter. These standards apply in all districts unless otherwise specified.
      C.   Conditional Uses:
         (1)   "C" in a cell indicates that in the respective zoning district the use is allowed only if reviewed and approved in accordance with the procedures of Section 11-03-04.6, Conditional Use Permits. Conditional Uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this Code, including the use-specific standards in this chapter and the requirements of Chapter 7, Development and Design Standards.
         (2)   The "C" designation in Table 11-06.1 in a given district does not constitute an authorization or an assurance that such use will be permitted. Rather, each Conditional Use permit application shall be evaluated as to its probable effect on adjacent properties and surrounding areas, among other factors, and may be approved or denied as the findings indicate appropriate.
         (3)   "C+" in a cell indicates that the use may only be approved as part of a larger mixed-use project comprised of principally allowed uses as described in Section 11-04-04.1.B.
      D.   Prohibited Uses: A blank cell indicates that the use is prohibited in the respective zoning district.
   3.   Use For Other Purposes Prohibited: Approval of a use listed in Table 11-06.1, and compliance with the applicable use- specific standards for that use, authorizes that use only. Development or use of a property for any other use not specifically allowed in Table 11-06.1 and approved under the appropriate process is prohibited.
   4.   Classification Of New And Unlisted Uses: In order to provide for new types of land uses not listed in Table 11-06.1, a determination as to the appropriate classification of any new or unlisted form of land use shall be made. When application is made for a use category or use type that is not specifically listed in Table 11-06.1, the Director shall provide an interpretation as to the zoning classification into which such use should be placed. In making such interpretation, the Director shall consider its potential land use impacts, including but not limited to:
      A.   The nature of the use and whether it involves household living unit;
      B.   Sales;
      C.   Processing;
      D.   Type of product, storage and amount, and nature thereof;
      E.   Enclosed or open storage;
      F.   Anticipated employment;
      G.   Transportation requirements;
      H.   The amount of noise, odor, fumes, dust, toxic material, and vibration likely to be generated; and
      I.   General requirements for public utilities such as water and sanitary sewer.
