   Whenever in any zoning district a use is neither specifically permitted nor denied, the use shall be considered prohibited.

The City Council and/or Planning Commission upon receipt of the staff study may, if appropriate, initiate an amendment to this chapter to provide for the particular use under consideration or may find that the use is not compatible for development within the city.

§ 154.036 ACCESSORY STORAGE CONTAINERS.

   In all zoning districts, the use of accessory storage containers, and other similar structures or containers for storage on a lot is allowed by permit, but in no event shall such containers be present for more than 90 days in any one-year period. This restriction shall not apply to construction storage containers used on-site during a construction project provided all required permits are obtained for the project, the project remains in compliance, and the containers are removed from the property upon completion of the project. Accessory storage containers shall comply with the standard setback requirements for accessory structures.
