(a)

Except as hereinafter provided, no building, other structure or land shall be used, and no building or other structure shall be erected, reconstructed or structurally altered, except in conformance with the regulations herein specified for the district in which such building is located.

(b)

Generally. No use is allowed unless it is listed as an allowed or conditional use (use by special review) in this Section. Those designated uses or buildings within each zoning district are those uses listed in the Residential Use Matrix (Table 16-1). For use by special review regulations, refer to Article IX of this Chapter.

(c)

Uses not listed. Evaluation of these uses shall be interpreted as set forth in Subsection (d) below. Any use not listed as an allowed use or SUP is presumed to be prohibited from the applicable zoning district.

(d)

Interpretation of similar use. The Planning Director shall determine if a use not mentioned can reasonably be interpreted to fit into a use category where similar uses are described. Interpretations shall be ratified by the Board of Trustees upon recommendation by the Planning Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting. It is the intent of this Chapter to group similar or compatible land uses into specific zoning districts, either as allowed uses or as uses authorized by use by special review.

(e)

In the event that a particular use is not listed in the Residential Use Matrix (Table 16-1) below and cannot be interpreted as a similar use in accordance with Subsection (d) above, or is not otherwise prohibited by law, the applicant may file for an amendment to the Chapter as described in Subsection 16-1-240(c) of this Article.

Read across the chart until either "A" or "S" appears in one (1) of the columns. If "A" appears, the use is an allowed use; if "S" appears, the use is only allowed upon the issuance of a Use by Special Review permit. If left blank, the use is not allowed in that zone.
