The Table of Allowed Uses for All Zoning Districts lists land uses and indicates whether they are permitted by right or with approval of a conditional use permit, or prohibited in each zoning district. The use table also includes references to additional use-specific standards that may be applicable to that use. The organization headings and individual abbreviations utilized in the table are explained as follows:
(A) Use category. The “use categories” are an organizational tool that simply help to organize the list of “specific use types” into common groupings for ease of reference.
(B) Specific use type. The “specific use types” are regulatory and function as the basis for defining present and future land uses that are appropriate in each zoning district. Rather than list every possible individual land use type, this list classifies individual land uses and activities into specific use types based on common functional, product or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, and how goods or services are sold or delivered and site conditions. Further definitions of each specific use type can be found in § 154.020 Definitions.
(C) Permitted uses. “P” in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right in that zoning district.
(D) Conditional uses. “C” in a cell indicates that the use is allowed in the respective zoning district only if reviewed and approved in accordance with the procedures of § 154.157, Conditional Use Permits.
(E) Not permitted. “--“ in a cell indicates that the use is not permitted/prohibited in that zoning district.
(F) Use-specific standards. Section numbers listed in the “Supplemental Use Regulations” column denote the location of additional regulations that are applicable to the specific use type; however, provisions in other sections of this chapter may also apply.
(G) Non-specified uses. When a use cannot be reasonably classified into a specific use type, or appears to fit into multiple specific use types, the Zoning Administrator or designee is authorized to determine the most similar and thus most appropriate specific use type based on the actual or projected characteristics of the individual use or activity (including but not limited to size, scale, operating characteristics and external impacts) in relationship to the specific use type definitions provided in § 154.020. Appeal of the Administrator’s decision may be made to the City Council following the procedures under § 154.161.
