   C.   Uses Not Permitted: Any use not specifically permitted or conditionally permitted in the table of permitted and conditional uses for the specific zoning district is prohibited. Only uses listed as a “P” or a “C” in the table of permitted and conditional uses for a district shall be allowed where designated.
   D.   Prohibited Uses: The following land uses are prohibited in all zoning districts:
      1.   Commercial and Industrial Land Uses That Exceed two hundred thousand (200,000) Gallons of Water per Day.
         a.   New Land Uses: Any new commercial or industrial land use that consumes or uses more than an annual average of two hundred thousand (200,000) gallons of potable water per day is prohibited in all zoning districts. The use and consumption limit is based on the total use from all water meters that serve the land use.
         b.   Expansions of Existing Uses: No commercial or industrial land use shall expand to an extent that increases its daily potable water consumption or use to exceed an annual average of two hundred thousand (200,000) gallons of potable water per day. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21A.38.040.H, an existing land use that exceeds the water use threshold may not expand if the expansion will result in a net increase in water consumption or use. The use and consumption limit is based on the total use from all water meters that serve the land use.
         c.   Water Use Report Required: A land use applicant shall certify the anticipated daily water use of the proposed land use in a manner satisfactory to the Department of Public Utilities. The Department of Public Utilities may require an anticipated daily water use report of any land use applicant proposing a new use or expansion of an existing use.
