(a) In order to regulate buildings and other uses for residential, business, industry, and other public uses, zoning regulations are established to control:
(1) The location of such buildings and/or uses on the land by the establishment of various setback lines;
(2) The maximum height and size of such buildings;
(3) The amount of off-street parking required to serve such building and/or use; and
(4) The amount and location of allowable signage to identify such building and/or use.
(b) 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.
(c) Main Buildings and Uses enumerated in the various use regulations of this Zoning Ordinance 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.
(d) 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 this Zoning Ordinance.
(e) Conditional Uses are certain types of main uses so classified in this Zoning Ordinance, which because of their uncommon or unique characteristics, large land area requirements or for other reasons, are not permitted by right in specific districts in which they may be appropriate and compatible without certain specific conditions. The uses which may be considered for approval with conditions 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 Chapter 1151.
(f) Accessory Buildings and Uses as enumerated in the various use regulations of this Ordinance, 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 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 all other regulations set forth or referred to for the district in which the accessory building or use is located and to all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Ordinance.
