The following uses shall be considered conditional uses where zoning districts adjoin:
(A) Residential use in a residential district. In any residential district, a transitional use may be permitted as a conditional use on the parcel where the side lot adjoins directly, or is across an alley from, a less restrictive residential district. Any transitional use shall be a use listed as a permitted or conditional use in the less restrictive district, and shall meet the requirements of either district as the Commission shall elect. (Note: This division shall not apply to mobile homes, or to any business uses, except offices.)
(B) Commercial use in a residential district.
(1) In any residential district a transitional use may be permitted as a conditional use on the parcel where the side lot adjoins directly, or would adjoin except for the presence of an alley, a B-1, B-2, B-3 or B-4 District.
(2) In cases where there is an existing building which is being used or has been used for commercial purposes within the previous five years from the date of application, a transitional use may also be permitted as a conditional use on the parcel where the lot would adjoin a B-1, B-2, B-3 or B-4 District except for the presence of a street. In such cases no expansion of the commercial building shall be permitted, and if the building is deteriorated, damaged or destroyed by any means to an extent of more than 50% of its replacement cost exclusive of foundations, then such conditional use shall not be approved, and if such conditional use has previously been approved for such property, then it shall automatically expire.
(3) Any transitional use shall be a use listed as a permitted or conditional use in the B District adjoined, and shall meet the requirements of either district, as the Commission shall elect.
(C) Industrial use in a business district. In any business district a transitional use may be permitted as a conditional use on the parcel where the side lot adjoins directly, or is located across the alley from,
an M-1 or M-2 District. Any transitional use shall be a use listed as a permitted or conditional use in the M District adjoined, and shall meet the requirements of either district as the Commission shall decide.
(D) Commercial use in a commercial district. In any business district, a transitional use may be permitted as a conditional use on the parcel where the side lot adjoins, or is located directly across the alley from a less restrictive business district. Any transitional use shall be a use listed as a permitted or conditional use in the adjoining district and it shall meet the requirements of either district as the Commission shall elect.
