(A) Regulations; schedule. To facilitate public understanding of this chapter and for the better administration and convenience of use thereof, the regulations designating permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, special uses, and specifically prohibited uses for each of the districts established by § 155.020 are set forth in the schedule below. Such schedule is intended and declared to be an integral part of this chapter, and it may be amended in the same manner as any other part of this chapter.
(B) Clarification regarding type of use. If a proposed use is not clearly defined in the schedule below, the matter shall be referred to the Code Official. The Code Official may confer with the village officials and/or the Village Attorney. The Code Official shall consider the nature of the proposed use and determine if it is substantially similar to a use listed in the schedule below. The factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, size of the structure, traffic likely to be generated, the presence of manufacturing, assembly, or preparation at the proposed site, and the degree of similarity with clearly permitted uses. If the Code Official determines that the proposed use is substantially similar to a permitted use, the proposed use shall be considered as permitted and shall be subject to the limitations which would apply to such clearly permitted similar use. All such designations of substantially similar use shall be reported to the Village Board. Any proposed use which is not so characterized as substantially similar to a clearly permitted use shall be considered as a prohibited unlisted use. An amendment or special use permit, as applicable, may be sought.
(C) Explanation of rows. Each row refers to a specific district which lists the permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, special uses, and specifically prohibited uses, and are read vertically under a district column.
(D) Limitations and requirements. Limitations and requirements in the schedule below as used in a column shall mean and include the specific limitations and requirements as set forth in the same column for the district referred to. Where reference is made in the schedule below to another section or provision of this chapter, such section or provision referred to shall thereby be incorporated as an integral part of the requirements including such reference. All provisions of this chapter shall apply as integral parts of this section although not specifically cited as a column.
