With regard to the residential use table, an "X" indicates that the described use is unconditionally permitted in the district represented by the symbol at the top of the column. A "U" indicates that the described use requires a use permit in the district represented by the symbol at the top of the column. The absence of an "X" or "U" indicates the particular use is prohibited in such a district. If a use is not listed on the table, the city planner, upon application, shall determine and recommend to the planning commission whether or not such use is similar in character to a described use for the purposes of applying district regulations.
