(A) Permitted use. A use permitted in one or more zoning districts as a matter of right; provided, the land and structures and the use itself otherwise meet the remaining requirements of this ordinance. Uses permitted in the various districts are indicated by a “P” mark in the appropriate column(s) of Table 4.1. Permitted uses are required to comply with all applicable requirements of § 4.2, Use-Specific Standards, and all other applicable standards of this ordinance.
(B) Special use. A use within one or more zoning districts that is not a use by right, but that is required to meet the terms, conditions and requirements for special uses and for which a special use permit is required to have been issued by the Board of Aldermen. Special uses that may be allowed in the various districts are indicated by an “S” mark in the appropriate column(s) of Table 4.1. Permitted uses are required to comply with all applicable requirements of § 4.2, Use-Specific Standards, and Article 5, Density, Intensity and Dimensional Standards, unless any such requirement is modified or waived by the Board of Aldermen in the special use permit, as well as with all other applicable standards of this ordinance.
(C) Prohibited use. Any use that is not indicated by a “P” or an “S” for a specific zoning district in Table 4.1 is a prohibited use in that district, and is indicated by an empty cell in the table.
(D) Overlay districts. Permitted and special uses in each overlay zoning district are the same as those available in that portion of the base district(s) in which the overlay applies, unless the terms of the overlay zoning district specifically prohibit the use. In addition, because of site-specific conditions or other factors, the terms and provisions of overlay districts may restrict or prohibit the availability or practicability of a use listed as a permitted or special use one or more base districts in Table 4.1. Applicants are urged to review all applicable overlay district provisions in conjunction with the provisions of this article.
(E) Accessory uses. Accessory uses are defined in Article 11. Such uses may only exist so long as the principal use of the property is in existence and not in violation of this ordinance. Accessory uses may not be established before a principal use is in operation, and may not continue after the principal use has ceased operation.
