(A) In B-3 Districts, accessory uses, buildings or structures may be established provided such uses are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to the permitted principal use.
(B) Accessory uses are limited to the following:
(1) Garages, or carports, storage sheds or other incidental structures;
