   b)   No outdoor storage of equipment, products or tools.

   c)   Repair of all vehicles shall occur within an enclosed building.

   d)   Vehicles not being repaired, but used as a source of parts, shall be prohibited unless fully enclosed within a building.

   e)   Outdoor storage of motor vehicles shall not be permitted for a period of more than 48 hours.

2   The manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, packaging, repair, testing, treatment, wholesaling, or storage of products, materials or equipment, including printing, machine shops, laboratories, and offices if the offices are directly associated with an allowed use and if the area devoted to offices does not exceed 50% of the area devoted to the allowed use.

3   Mini-storage facilities located on parcels identified in § 155.296 state highway standards shall comply with the regulations outlined in § 155.296(H).

   (B)   Explanation of Table in § 155.105(A): Uses by Zoning District.

      (1)   Organization of Table. The Table organizes all principal uses by use classification and use types.

         (a)   Use classifications. The use classifications are: general, agricultural, residential, public and institutional, commercial, and industrial.

         (b)   Use types. The specific use types identify the specific uses that are considered to fall within characteristics identified in the use classifications. For example, pawn shops and clinics are commercial use types in the B-1 General Business District.

      (2)   Symbols used in table.

         (a)   Permitted uses = P. A “P” indicates that a use is permitted, subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this code.

         (b)   Permitted accessory uses = A. An “A” indicates that a use is permitted, subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this code.

         (c)   Conditional permitted uses = C. A “C” indicates that a use is allowed only if a conditional use permit is issued by the city after compliance with the procedure and requirements set forth in § 155.440.

         (d)   Interim uses = I. An “I” indicates that a use may be allowed for a limited period of time if an interim use permit is issued by the city after compliance with the procedure and requirements set forth in § 155.441.

         (e)   Not permitted = shaded. A shaded space indicates that the listed use is prohibited in the respective base zoning district, but such prohibition shall not apply to an accessory use determined by the city to be similar to or consistent with the definition of a permitted or conditional use allowed in the zoning district (e.g. auditorium in a school).

         (f)   Unlisted uses. Whenever in any zoning district a proposed use is neither specifically permitted nor denied, the Zoning Administrator is authorized to classify the proposed use into an existing use type as set forth in the Table in § 155.105(A) that the Zoning Administrator determines most closely fits the proposed use. If no similar use determination is made by the Zoning Administrator, the proposed use is prohibited. In such case, the City Council on its own initiative may amend this chapter to allow the proposed use or an interested party may request an amendment to this chapter in accordance with the procedure and requirement set forth in § 155.440.
