§ 154.007-01 TABLE OF PERMITTED USES.

The Table of Permitted Uses describes those land uses that are allowed in each of Surry County’s zoning districts.

(A) Explanation of Table of Uses. Uses are identified according to the level of approval required before a zoning permit may be initiated. Letters within the appropriate columns of the table have the following meaning:

(1) P = use permitted by right.

(2) S = use permitted with the issuance of a special use permit approved by the Board of Adjustment, or in the VR District by the Planning Board.

(3) All uses allowed in the VR District are also subject to the requirements of §§ 154.006.

(4) The PR-CD (Planned Residential Conditional Development) is not listed in this table. Uses allowed in PR-CDs are not inherent to the district but are allowed through specific conditions approved by the Board of Commissioners. Uses are generally limited to residential uses with an allowable percentage of non-residential specified in §§ 154.006.

(B) Formulation of Table of Uses. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) - 2022 revision was utilized in the preparation of this table and shall be referred to as a guide for purposes of interpretation by the Surry County Planning Board. NAICS codes are used to refer to NAICS Classifications.

(1) If a land use does not appear in the Table then it is prohibited;

(2) Uses with no entry in the NAICS Code column do not correspond to any classification in the NAICS;

(3) If a building or property involves two (or more) uses with different NAICS codes on the same zone lot, the uses shall be permitted only in those zoning districts where the more restricted activity is permitted.

(C) Uses restricted or prohibited within zoning overlay areas. Regardless of whether a particular use is identified in the table as a permitted use, permitted as a special use, or otherwise, the use type may be restricted or prohibited, or subject to more restrictive additional requirements, in accordance with applicable overlay area provisions in §§ 154.006.

(1) Watershed overlays. All uses other than those listed are prohibited within the watershed overlay districts:

(a) Agriculture subject to the provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985 and the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 and the rules and regulations of the Soil and Water Conservation Commission.

(b) Silviculture, subject to the provisions of the Forest Practices Guidelines Related to Water Quality (15 NCAC 1I.6101-.0209).

(c) Residential development.

(d) Non-residential development in WS-IV-PA watersheds. Non-residential development in other watersheds is restricted by §§ 154.017.

(2) Airport overlays. No use may be made of land or water within the AO-1 or AO-2 zone in such a manner as to create electrical interference with navigational signals or radio communication between the airport and aircraft, make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and others, result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport, impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport, create bird strike hazards or otherwise in any way endanger or interfere with the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft intending to use the airport.

(D) Special requirements for permitted uses. Any permitted use listed in the table below that has a section reference in the “Special Requirements” column (far right column) shall comply with the standards listed in their applicable section of § 154.008 in addition to the other requirements of this chapter. If the provisions of this division conflict with any other requirements of this section, these provisions shall prevail. This division provides for certain permitted uses that are distinct and unique which require additional considerations.

(E) Uses located on farms. These regulations do not affect property used for bona fide farm purposes per § 154.008. These regulations do apply to the use of farm property for nonfarm purposes.

(F) Table of Permitted Uses.
