Note regarding Institutional Uses. The Institutional Use categories "College or University Use," "Hospital Use," and "Nursing or Convalescent Home Use," are defined in Article 2 to include subuses (office, parking, etc.) that also appear as main uses in this Table A. If part of an Institutional Use, pursuant to the provisions of this Article and Article 2, any such subuse shall be regulated as the pertinent Institutional Use and not as an accessory or ancillary use subject to Section 8-2.5 (Accessory Uses) and Section 23-9.a (Location of Accessory Parking) or as an independent use. To determine whether the substitution of one such subuse for another constitutes a Proposed Institutional Project, and to determine whether a subuse is a High Impact Subuse, see the definition of the pertinent Institutional Use in Article 2.

See Section 71-3 (Applicability), Section 71-5 (Use Regulations), Section 80D-2.4 (Regulations Applicable to Exempt Projects), and Section 80D-11 (Institutional Master Plan Review: Effect on Applicability of Other Zoning Requirements) concerning the applicability of the use regulations of this Table A to Institutional Uses. See also Section 71-7 (Institutional Master Plan Review Requirement) and Section 80D-2 (Applicability of Institutional Master Plan Review) concerning the applicability of Institutional Master Plan Review to such uses.
