Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this chapter, the following shall apply to a use not provided for within a zoning district.
(A) Whenever in any zoning district a use is neither specifically permitted nor denied, the use shall be considered prohibited.
(B) The City Council or the Planning Commission, on their own initiative or upon request, may utilize city staff to conduct a study to determine if a particular use not addressed in this chapter is acceptable, and, if acceptable, what zoning district would be most appropriate for such a use and the appropriate conditions and standards relating to development of such a use.
(C) The City Council, Planning Commission, or affected property owner, upon receipt of the staff’s study, may, if appropriate, initiate an amendment to this chapter to provide for the particular use under consideration. A decision by the Planning Commission or City Council that the proposed use is not compatible for development within the city shall be accompanied by findings in support of the decision.
