B. 
Permitted uses by right. All principal and accessory uses listed in Schedule A shall be permitted by right in the zoning district where the use is listed as permitted, provided that all other requirements of this chapter are met, including site plan review as may be required. All permitted uses are indicated in Schedule A with a "P."

D. 
Prohibited uses. In addition to the prohibited activities of Chapter 221, Nuisances, of the Village Code, any use not listed in Schedule A: Permitted Uses, of this chapter as a principal or accessory permitted use is deemed prohibited unless such principal or accessory uses are expressly permitted elsewhere in this chapter or a use variance is granted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
E. 
Accessory uses.
(1) 
Uses listed in Schedule A under the category "Accessory Uses" are permitted where the use is listed as permitted, but shall be subordinate or incidental to a permitted principal use listed in Schedule A.
(2) 
In the OS-R, R-SF or R-MF District, permitted accessory uses shall only be those listed under the category "Accessory Uses" in Schedule A and shall meet the requirements of § 325-17E and other provisions of this chapter.

In the NMU, GMU, MS, DMU, CC and TBL Districts, all uses listed as "Principal Uses" in Schedule A may be an accessory use to another permitted use. See also Subsection G below.
F. 
Supplemental requirements of certain uses. This chapter includes supplemental requirements for certain uses as provided as a cross-reference on Schedule A to Article VII, Supplemental Use Regulations.
