Section 151.22.006 Matrix of Use Permissions by Zoning District

A. Use Permissions by Zoning District. No building, structure or land shall be used, nor shall any use be established unless it complies with the requirements of this Code.

1. Principal Uses (P) are those principal uses that are allowable on a property within each zoning district as provided in this Section.

2. Accessory Uses (A) are those uses which are customarily subordinate to, integrated with, and clearly incidental to a principal use on the same property as provided under this Section. The Matrix of Use Permissions identifies certain accessory uses that are allowable within certain zoning districts. Accessory uses not specifically listed, but are otherwise deemed to be compatible with the principal use of the property by the Community Development Director may be authorized in connection with a building permit.

3. Conditional Uses (C) are uses that may be appropriate in the zoning district and require individual review as to their particular characteristics, impacts, and location to determine if they require special conditions to their establishment in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the community in accordance with Article 151.26 of this Code.

4. Non-Conforming Uses (NC) are uses of land or of a structure which do not meet the use regulations of this Code but which lawfully existed at the time of adoption of this Code as specified under Article 151.24 of this Code.
