This Chapter provides a list of permitted and special land uses in the form of a Land Use Matrix.
(a) Zoning Districts. Each of the Zoning Districts established in Section 1131.01 (Purpose; Establishment) are indicated over each of the columns in the Land Use Matrix.
(b) Interpretation of Land Uses. The permitted and special land uses allowed in the City of Rossford are indicated as rows in the matrix. Each land use listed in the matrix has been assigned to one of the following land use categories: agricultural uses, residential uses, government and institutional uses, commercial uses, and industrial uses. Permitted and special accessory uses are also listed at the end of the Land Use Matrix.
(1) The presumption established by this Chapter is that all principal uses of land allowed in the City of Rossford are listed in the Land Use Matrix and assigned to at least one zoning district.
(2) Uses which are omitted from any Zoning District shall be considered prohibited until such uses are amended into these regulations pursuant to Chapter 1114 (Amendment Procedures).
(3) Since the list of land uses set forth in the Land Use Matrix cannot be all- inclusive, the Zoning Inspector shall refer proposed questionable uses to the Planning Commission for determination whether or not a proposed use is of a similar nature, is similar in character, or will have similar impacts to a specified permitted or special land use listed in the Land Use Matrix.
(4) The Land Use Matrix shall not be interpreted to allow a principal use in one zoning district when the use in question is more closely related to another specified principal use that is listed in another zoning district.
(5) Whenever a mixed-use development could fall within more than one use classification in the Land Use Matrix, the classification that most closely and most specifically describes the development shall control. W hen a mixed use development comprises two or more principal uses where any of the principal uses is a special use, then the entire mixed-use development shall be deemed a special use.
(c) Symbols for Permitted and Conditional Land Uses. When used in connection with a particular use listed in the Land Use Matrix:
(1) The letter “P” means that the use is permitted in the indicated zoning district with a Zoning Permit issued by the Zoning Inspector.
(3) The lack of any symbol means the proposed land use is prohibited in the Zoning District. (Ord. 2008-06. Passed 4-14-08.)
