   The schedule of district regulations lists the main uses allowed within all zoning districts. The following provisions apply to the interpretation of the schedule:
   (a)   Uses.
      (1)   A "P" in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed by-right in the respective zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other general standards of this Code as well as any specific standards that are noted in the last column of the schedule.
      (2)   A "C" in a cell indicates that a use may be permitted if approved by the Planning Commission through the conditional use review process as set forth in Section 1111.08. Conditional uses are subject to all other general standards of this Code as well as any specific standards that are noted in the last column of the schedule.
      (3)   A blank cell indicates that a use is prohibited in the respective zoning district.
   (b)   Use Determination. The Administrator shall make the determination if a proposed use is a permitted use, conditional use, or temporary use under the provisions of this section.
   (c)   Similar Use Determination.
      (1)   The Planning Commission may determine that a proposed use is substantially similar to a permitted or conditional use as established in subsection (d) hereof based on the proposed use activities, character of the use, or similarity to other uses contemplated by this Code. If the Planning Commission finds that the proposed use is a similar use, the application to establish such use shall be processed in the same manner as the comparable permitted use. If the Planning Commission finds that a proposed use is not a similar use, the application shall not be processed.
      (2)   The applicant may request that the Planning Commission initiate a text amendment to address the proposed use and establish applicable guidelines and standards or the applicant may appeal the determination of the Planning Commission to Council. Council may affirm the finding of the Planning Commission or make its own finding that a proposed use is a similar use. In such event, the decision of Council shall be final.
