Principal Uses. Permitted principal uses by zoning district are set forth in section 73-44 Use Table. Permitted uses are grouped by use category. Use categories classify land uses and activities based on common functional, product, and/or physical characteristics. Such characteristics may include but are not limited to the nature and intensity of the proposed business; how goods or services are sold or delivered; and, potential impacts on surrounding properties and site conditions. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning land uses to appropriate zoning districts. Specific uses may be further defined as set forth in article 7 Supplemental Regulations. Any use not specifically set forth in this zoning chapter is expressly prohibited, unless determined otherwise in this section 73-41.

(b)

Accessory Uses. Accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with a principal use and are subject to the provisions of article 73-7 Supplemental Regulations.

(c)

Uses not Specifically Listed.

(1)

Any proposed use that is not specifically listed in section 73-44 Use Table is expressly prohibited. If the permitted use most similar to the unlisted proposed use is subject to any standard of article 7 Supplemental Regulations or subject to approval of a special use permit, then the unlisted proposed use shall be held subject to the same standard and/or special use permit approval requirements as the listed use.
