11.3. DEFINITIONS OF LAND USE GROUPS, CLASSES, AND TYPES

11.3.1. PURPOSE AND PROVISIONS

   These provisions classify land uses into categories to identify different activities within the City . Any activity conducted on a property located within the City is considered to be a land use. The categories of land use that refer to a primary activity, such as Residential or Industrial, are called Land Use Groups. Each Land Use Group is further divided into more specific listings based on their similarity of functional characteristics, such as Food and Beverage Sales or Vehicle Rental and Sales. These specific uses are referred to as Land Use Classes. In some cases, a Land Use Class may be further divided into more specific land uses called Land Use Types. Land uses listed within a specific Land Use Group, Class, or Type are not listed in any other Land Use Group, Class, or Type.

   A.   Typical Headings and Uses

   Typical uses cited in the description of each Land Use Class are not intended to be exclusive or restrictive. Reference is made to the description of the Land Use Class in determining whether or not a certain use is included within a particular Land Use Class.

   B.   Determination of Appropriate Land Use Class

   Where a specific use does not conform to the wording of any Land Use Class description or conforms to the wording of two or more Land Use Class descriptions, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the most appropriate Land Use Class for that use. Such a determination is an administrative decision.
