      (3)   The letter “X” indicates that the use is prohibited.

      (4)   The letters “NA” indicate that the use is not applicable to the district.

      (5)   Any use not listed is prohibited unless the BZA determines that the use is similar in impact, nature, function, and duration to an allowed use listed in the Table of Land Uses, and which would not be otherwise detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, unless otherwise specifically prohibited.

      (6)   The particular and specific control the general.

      (7)   In case of any difference of meaning or implication between the text and any caption, the text controls.
