A.

Appendix I, Table B: Site Requirements by District, is incorporated as part of this ordinance. Structure refers to the type of structure or building on the land.

B.

Commentary. Land-use terms embody a structural or building characteristic, which indicates the utility of the space (in a building) or land (when there is no building). Land-use terms, such as single-family house, office building, warehouse, hospital building, or highway, also describe structural characteristic. Although many activities and functions are closely associated with certain structures, it is not always so. Many buildings are often adapted for uses other than its original use. For instance, a single-family residential structure may be used as an office. To sort out this confusion, this ordinance clearly separates use regulation from structure regulation.

C.

Lot Requirement.

1.

Every building erected, reconstructed, converted, moved, or structurally altered shall be located on a lot of record, and no more than one main building shall be located on one lot, unless otherwise provided for in this ordinance. This restriction does not apply to apartment buildings.

D.

Structure Requirement.

1.

No building or land shall be developed, built, used, moved, altered or occupied unless the building or land conforms with the structure requirements specified for the district in which it is located. This restriction shall not apply to property meeting the definition of non-conforming uses in section 17-2071(G).

E.

Structures Permitted by Right.

1.

A structure denoted by the letter "A" in Appendix I, Table B: Site Requirements by District in any district is a structure permitted by right, provided that all other requirements of state law and this ordinance have been met and provided that a building permit has been issued in accordance with section 17-2090: Administration and enforcement. The intent is to allow the construction of structures that promote the development of each district.
