(A) Regulation of the use and development of land and structures. Regulations pertaining to the use of land and/or structures, and the physical development thereof within each of the zoning districts as adopted as a standard zoning district in §§ 153.015 and 153.016, and as shown on the zoning district map are hereby established and adopted.
(B) Rules of application. The standard district regulations set forth in this subchapter shall be interpreted and enforced according to the following rules.
(1) Identification of uses. Listed uses are to be defined by their customary name or identification, except where they are specifically defined or limited in the zoning ordinance.
(a) When a listed use has a number preceding the name it is the code number and activity title as listed in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Executive office of the President, Bureau of the Budget (Washington, 1957) including the 1963 supplement.
(b) Group code and title (three digits) shall include all industry codes and titles listed in the group other than those specifically excepted.
(c) Industry code and title (four digits) shall include all activities listed under the industry code other than those specifically excepted.
(d) The full text of the listings in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual shall be a part of the definition of the use listed in this chapter and is hereby adopted as a part of this subchapter.
(2) Permitted uses. Only a use designated as a permitted use shall be allowed as a matter of right in a zoning district and any use not so designated shall be prohibited except, when in character with the zoning district, such additional uses may be added to the permitted uses of the zoning district by amendment of this chapter.
(3) Conditional uses. A use designated as a conditional use shall be allowed in a zoning district when such conditional use, its location, extent and method of development will not substantially alter the character of the vicinity or unduly interfere with the use of adjacent lots in the manner prescribed for the zoning district. To this end the Planning and Zoning Commission shall, in addition to the development standards for the zoning district, set forth such additional requirements as will, in its judgment, render the conditional use compatible with the existing and future use of adjacent lots and the vicinity.
(4) Development standards. The development standards set forth shall be minimum allowed for development in a zoning district. If the development standards are in conflict with the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations or laws, the more restrictive or higher standard shall govern.
