4.8.2. ORGANIZATION

   A.   Zone Groups

      1.   In several instances, the order in which the zones are provided in the permitted use tables do not relate to one particular zone ’s degree of restrictiveness in relation to other zones . For the official hierarchy of more- to less-restrictive zones , see Section 4.5.

      2.   For organizational, formatting, and ease of use purposes, the zones have been grouped as shown in the following table:

Table Number	Group	Zones Included
4.8-1	Rural and Suburban Residential Zones	RH	SR	SH	RX-1	RX-2
4.8-2	Urban Residential Zones	R-1	R-2	R-3	MH-1	MH-2
4.8-3	Office Zones	O-1	O-2	O-3
4.8-4	Commercial and Mixed Use  Zones	C-1	C-2	C-3	OCR-1	OCR-2
4.8-5	Industrial Zones	P-I	I-1	I-2
4.8-6	Special Use Zones (1)	OS	IR	P	RV
4.8-7	Special Use Zones (2)	NC	RVC	MU

 

   B.   Hierarchy of Uses

   The hierarchy in the use tables has Land Use Groups at the top, followed by Land Use Classes, then Land Use Types. See Section 4.4, Organization of Land Uses, for a description of each land use category. See the Figure 4.8.2-1 following the written description below for an example of the use hierarchy.

      1.   Land Use Groups

      Land Use Groups are shown in the permitted use tables as shaded rows with a label indicating the specific Land Use Group (e.g., Civic).

      2.   Land Use Classes

      Land Use Classes are listed below their respective Land Use Group header and are left justified in the Land Use column.

      3.   Land Use Types

      Land Use Types are listed below their associated Land Use Class in the Land Use column and are indented in from the Land Use Class label.

      4.   Accessory Land Use

      A permitted accessory land use is listed either:

         a.   Directly below its associated Land Use Class or Type and is labeled “[w]ith [insert use] as an accessory use ”;

         b.   At the end of the Land Use Group section when an accessory use (s) is permitted with every permitted use within a particular Land Use Group; or,

         c.   As a dedicated line item in a particular Land Use Group or at the end of a Permitted Use Table when a use(s) is a permitted accessory use to permitted land uses in multiple Land Use Groups.
