The permitted uses on land in each zoning district are listed in this chapter. Uses of land not listed as permitted in a zoning district shall be referred to the Director of Planning Services for a decision concerning the requested use. Where the Director of Planning Services shall make a finding that the requested use is nearly indistinguishable in intensity of use, effect on and demand on transportation and other infrastructure, and effect on surrounding property uses and values as compared to a use listed in this chapter, the Director shall permit the requested use. Where the Director shall make a finding that the requested is not so indistinguishable, or where the Director finds that the requested use shall qualify for a change in zoning, or a special exception or a variance of use the request shall be referred to the Plan Commission or Board of Zoning Appeals for adjudication.
