No building shall be erected, reconstructed, or structurally altered, nor shall any building or land be used for any purpose other than as permitted herein by the district in which such building or land use is located. If there is a conflict between the land uses designated by this chapter and the City comprehensive land use plan, the regulations included in the land use plan shall prevail.

The use regulations of the zoning districts are based on the following use classification system.

(a)

Purpose and intent. The purpose of these provisions is to classify uses of land into a number of specially defined land use categories on the basis of common functional characteristics and similar compatibility with other uses, thereby providing a basis for regulation of uses in accordance with criteria that are directly relevant to the public interest. These provisions shall apply throughout this chapter.

(b)

Classification of principal uses. The use categories listed on the following use regulations schedule shall be considered to be principal uses. A single lot may contain more than one principal use, unless otherwise prohibited by the provisions of this chapter. All existing and proposed uses shall be classified into the use category that most closely portrays the overall nature of such activity, consistent with the definitions of the use categories in section 21-9, definitions. Any use that cannot be so classified shall not be permitted in any district.

The following use regulations schedule summarizes the use regulations of the districts. In the event of any conflict between the use regulations schedule and the text of the zoning district regulations or the supplementary regulations, the text shall control. Uses that were established prior to the adoption of this chapter or its predecessors, but that are now inconsistent with the requirements of this chapter, shall be permitted if such uses meet the requirements of section 23-156, Nonconforming provisions, for a valid nonconforming use.

(a)

Interpretation of use regulations schedule. The use regulations schedule shall be interpreted as follows.

(1)

Permitted by right. Principal uses identified in a particular district column with a "P" are "permitted by right" and shall be permitted in such district.

(2)

Conditional uses. Principal uses identified in a particular district column with a "C" are "conditional uses" and shall be permitted in such district only upon approval by the City Commission in accordance with the procedures and standards of section 23-152, conditional use.

(3)

Not permitted. Principal uses not identified in a particular district column as permitted by right or as a conditional use, including but not limited to, the preparation, cultivation, storage, processing, manufacturing, delivering or dispensing of marijuana in any form, for any personal, business or occupational use whatsoever, are not allowed in such district unless otherwise expressly permitted in this chapter. Further, all uses, products, or acts prohibited under any state or federal law are prohibited throughout the City.
