§ 154.033 SCHEDULE: PERMITTED AND SPECIAL USES.

(A) To facilitate public understanding of this chapter and for the better administration and convenience of use thereof, the regulations designating permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, special uses and specifically prohibited uses for each of the districts are established by § 154.020. Section 154.033 is intended and declared to be an integral part of this chapter by designating permitted uses in each zoning district and it may be amended in the same manner as any other part of this chapter. If a proposed use is not clearly defined in § 154.033, the matter shall be referred to the Code Official. The Code Official may confer with the City Administrator and City Attorney. The Code Official shall consider the nature of the proposed use and determine if it is substantially similar to a use listed in § 154.033. The factors to be considered include, but are not limited to: size of the structure, traffic likely to be generated, the presence of manufacturing, assembly or preparation at the proposed site, and the degree of similarity with clearly permitted uses. If the Code Official determines that the proposed use is substantially similar to a permitted use, the proposed use shall be considered as permitted and shall be subject to the limitations that would apply to such clearly permitted similar use. All such designations of substantially similar uses shall be reported to the City Council and the Planning Commission. Any proposed use that is not so characterized as substantially similar to a clearly permitted use shall be considered as a prohibited unlisted use. An amendment or special use permit, as applicable, may be sought.

(B) Each column refers to a specific district that lists the permitted uses and read vertically under a district column.

(C) Limitations and requirements in § 154.033 as used in a column shall mean and include the specific limitations and requirements as set forth in the same column for the district referred to. Where reference is made in § 154.033 to another section or provision of this chapter, such section or provision referred to shall thereby be incorporated as an integral part of the requirements including such reference. All provisions of this chapter shall apply as integral parts of this Section although not specifically cited as a column.
