Any building or parcel of land may be used, and the use of any building and any parcel of land may be changed or extended, and any existing building may be altered, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or maintained, only for the uses specifically enumerated or referred to as permitted or required in the district in which the building or parcel of land is located and for no other use. The enumeration of uses within a district shall not be construed as a ranking of the most desirable to less desirable uses.
(a) A main building and use enumerated in the various use regulations of this Zoning Code shall be permitted, by right, as the principal building, use or activity of a zoning lot only in a district in which it is specifically permitted.
(b) Similar uses are uncommon uses which have characteristics similar to and compatible with those uses enumerated as permitted in a district, by right, but since they occur only infrequently it is not reasonable to enumerate all such uncommon uses. They may, however, be added to the enumerations of permitted uses by procedures established in Section 1242.08.
(c) Conditional uses are certain types of main uses so classified in this Zoning Code because of their uncommon or unique characteristics, large land area requirements or for other reasons, and are therefore uses which cannot be permitted by right in specific locations in districts in which they are appropriate and compatible without certain adjustments. The uses which may be considered for conditional approval in specific districts are enumerated throughout the sections dealing with use regulations. The procedures and standards for evaluating and approving conditional uses are set forth in Section 1242.07.
(d) Accessory buildings and uses as enumerated in the various use regulations of this Code shall be permitted as a subordinate building or subordinate use if it is clearly incident to and located on the same zoning lot as the main building or use and if it is located in a district in which it is specifically permitted. The use, change, extension, alteration, conversion, enlargement, reconstruction, relocation or maintenance of accessory buildings and land shall be subject to all area, yard, height, off-street parking and other regulations set forth or referred to for the district in which the accessory building or parcel of land is located and to all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Code.
