(a) Any building or parcel of land may be used, the use of any building and any parcel of land may be changed or extended, and any existing building may be altered, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or maintained, only for the uses specifically enumerated or referred to as permitted or required in the district in which the building or parcel of land is located and for no other use. The enumeration of uses within a district shall not be construed as a ranking of more desirable to less desirable uses.
(b) A main building or use enumerated in the various use regulations of this Zoning Code shall be permitted by right as the principal building, use or activity of a zoning lot only in a district in which it is specifically permitted.
(c) Similar uses are uncommon uses which have characteristics similar to and compatible with those uses enumerated as permitted in a district by right, but since they occur only infrequently it is not reasonable to enumerate all such uncommon uses. They may, however, be added to the enumerations of permitted uses by procedures established in Section 1262.08.
(d) Conditional uses are certain types of main uses so classified in this Zoning Code because of their uncommon or unique characteristics, large land area requirements or for other reasons. They are uses which cannot be permitted by right, in specific locations in districts in which they are appropriate and compatible without certain adjustments. The uses which may be considered for conditional approval in specific districts are enumerated throughout the sections dealing with use regulations. The procedures and standards for evaluating and approving conditional uses are set forth in Section 1262.07.
(e) An accessory building or use, as enumerated in the various use regulations of this Zoning Code, shall be permitted as a subordinate building or subordinate use if it is clearly incidental to and located on the same zoning lot as the main building or use, and if located in a district in which it is specifically permitted. The use, change, extension, alteration, conversion, enlargement, reconstruction, relocation or maintenance of accessory buildings and land shall be subject to all area, yard, height, off-street parking and other regulations, set forth or referred to for the district in which the accessory building or parcel of land is located, and to all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Code.
