1. 1.
   Use Classifications. The Use Classifications are identified by the indigo shaded rows in the Use Matrix. The Use Classifications organize Uses into broad general classifications (e.g., Residential, Commercial and Office, etc.).
2. 2.
   Use Categories. Use Classifications are further divided into Use Categories (the periwinkle shaded rows in each use table). The Use Categories describe the major sub-groups of the Use Classification. For example, the Residential Use Classification is divided into two major Use Categories: Household Living, and Group Living and Care.  
3. 3.
   Uses. The Use Classifications or Use Categories are then divided into specific Uses (the white rows in each use table). For example, single-family detached dwellings, multi-family dwellings, and live/work dwellings are Uses in the Household Living Use Category.

1. 1.
   Accessory uses that are permitted by right or with restrictions as an accessory use may be permitted as a principal use through the Conditional Use process.
2. 2.
   Unless otherwise provided in the Accessory Use Matrix, accessory uses and accessory structures are permitted in any zoning district, only if they are:

   1. a.
      Established with written permission from the property owner or in connection with, and incidental to, a principal use or structure;
   2. b.
      The principal use or structure is lawfully permitted within that district; and
   3. c.
      The principal use or structure is located on the same lot or zoning lot.
3. 3.
   Accessory structures or uses shall not be constructed or established on a lot until construction of the principal building is completed or the principal use is established. Accessory buildings shall not be used for dwelling purposes, except as provided in section 19.2-32-15.

Uses Not Enumerated.

1. 1.

   Conditional Uses. Uses that are not enumerated which have the same general character as those uses allowed by right or with restrictions in the respective Zoning District may be allowed by Conditional Use if the Director of Planning makes a finding that the proposed use's operating characteristics are substantially similar to, and its impact on neighboring properties no greater than, the operating characteristics and impacts of the specifically enumerated uses allowed by right or with restrictions in the district. For a conditional use, the Director of Planning's findings shall be based upon the following considerations for the proposed use: the size and proposed configuration of the site; the size, height and exterior architectural appearance of any proposed structure(s); noise; light; glare; odors; dust; outdoor activities; traffic; parking; signage; and hours of operation.  

2. 2.
   Accessory Uses. In each Zoning District, accessory uses, buildings, and structures which are not otherwise listed in the Accessory Use Matrix and which are customarily accessory and incidental to the principal use, building, or structure shall be permitted, as determined by the Director of Planning. 
3. 3.
   Equivalent Uses. If a proposed use is not identified in the Use Matrix, the Director of Planning may determine whether that use falls within the definition of an identified principal or accessory use. In determining whether the proposed use falls within the definitions of an identified use, the Director of Planning may refer to:

   1. a.
      The most recent edition of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary.
   2. b.
      If a proposed use is not defined in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the North American Industry Classification Manual (Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, 2017) (“NAICS”). If the proposed use is not defined in the NAICS, the American Planning Association, Land-Based Classification Standards LBCS Tables (April 1, 2001).
   3. c.
      If the Director of Planning determines that an unlisted proposed use does not fall within the definition of a use identified and defined in this Chapter, the use is not permitted unless the Director of Planning determines that the use may be approved as a conditional use or special exception, as provided in Subsection E.1 above. 

1. 1.
   Prohibited Uses. In the RC, SR, SC, SU, TR, UR, NB, and MU Districts, a shipping container, manufactured home, trailer, vehicle body, or similar container shall not be used for a dwelling, garage, storage building, boathouse, or other accessory use, except as otherwise specified in this Chapter. Government Buildings are exempt from this requirement.
2. 2.
   Above Ground Storage Tanks. For any gas station, fueling facility, automobile repair and motor vehicle sales, repair, rental, and leasing, tractor trailer sales, repair, rental, and leasing, or truck stop use containing above ground storage tanks used for fuels or hazardous chemicals, such tanks shall be set back at least 200 feet from any property line of a residential use, school, playground, church, hospital, library or institutional building, or other assembly use.
3. 3.

   1. a.
      Any temporary manufactured home with a valid permit in any zoning district approved prior to January 1, 2026.
   2. b.
      In an A, RC, SR, SC, SU, or AR District when the principal residence has been rendered uninhabitable by fire or Act of God.
   3. c.
      In the CC, EC, EG, or WD Districts, if a manufactured home has been legally on the property within the past six months.
