The standard district regulations, set forth in Chapters 1238 through 1270, shall be interpreted and enforced according to the following rules:
(a) 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 that when an additional use is in character with the zoning district, such additional use may be added to the permitted uses of the zoning district by an amendment of this Zoning Code.
(b) 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.
(c) Development Standards. The development standards set forth in this Zoning Code shall be the 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.
