30-8-2 Prohibited Uses

The following uses are prohibited throughout the city:

  2. Leather and leather products manufacturing involving tanning;
  3. All agricultural uses not otherwise permitted in the Permitted Use table, except those expressly allowed in the AG (special district); and
  4. Manufactured dwellings placed, parked, or stored on residentially zoned lots except as provided in:
    1. 30-7-8.7 (Manufactured Housing Overlay Districts);
    2. 30-8-10.1(F) (Manufactured Dwelling (Mobile Home) Parks;
    3. 30-8-12.4 as temporary construction offices, temporary construction equipment storage, or temporary real estate sales or rental offices; or

Effective on: 1/1/1901

30-8-10 Additional Use Standards

These standards only apply to those districts and uses where a “U” or “S” is designated on the Permitted Use Table (Table 8-1) of 30-8-1 and in those instances when the provisions of this ordinance expressly state that compliance with these standards is required.

30-8-12 Temporary Use Standards

Commentary: Temporary uses should not be confused with permanent outdoor activities (for example, a car sales lot) that are only allowed in certain zones and require site plan approval, nor should they be confused with an outdoor display area (for example, a garden center that is part of a building supply store) that may be a part of a retail store and require site plan approval.

The uses listed below are considered temporary in nature. Unless otherwise expressly stated, temporary uses are allowed in any zoning district. Additional restrictions regarding the operation of these uses may be imposed through the City Code.

30-8-1.1 Use Table Key

Effective on: 1/1/1901

30-8-3.1 Approach to Categorizing Uses

  • The use categories found in the use table in 30-8-1, Permitted Use Table, are set forth in this section. Specific uses may be further defined in Article 15.
  • Any use not specifically listed in the use category in this section is prohibited, unless the Planning Director determines that the use is similar to a permitted use in that district. Where any similar permitted use is subject to additional use standards or special use permit approval, the proposed use is also subject to those standards or approval.
  • Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-3.2 Basis for Classifications

    Use categories classify land uses and activities based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics. Characteristics include the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, likely impact on surrounding properties, and site conditions. The use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning land uses to appropriate zoning districts.

    Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-3.3 Uses Not Specifically Listed

    When a specific use type cannot be readily classified into a use category or appears to fit into 2 or more use categories, the Planning Director is authorized to determine the most similar, thus most appropriate, use category based on the following considerations:

    1. The actual or projected characteristics of the activity in relationship to the stated characteristics of each use category;
    2. The relative amount of site area or floor space and equipment devoted to the activity;
    3. Relative amounts of sales from each activity;
    4. The customer type for each activity;
    5. The relative number of employees in each activity;
    6. Hours of operation;
    7. Building and site arrangement;
    8. Types of vehicles used and their parking requirements;
    9. The relative number of vehicle trips generated;
    10. Signs;
    11. How the use is advertised;
    12. The anticipated impact on surrounding properties; and
    13. Whether the activity is likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site.

    Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-3.4 Developments with Multiple Principal Uses

    Developments with multiple principal uses must conform to the following:

    1. When all principal uses of a development fall within one Use Category, the entire development is assigned to that Use Category;
    2. When the principal uses of a development fall within different Use Categories, each principal use must be classified in the applicable Use Category and each use is subject to all applicable regulations for that Use Category; and
    3. A development comprised of uses regulated by separate rows on the Use Table must be reviewed using the most restrictive process from among the proposed uses.
    Commentary: For example, if a development includes a convenience store, fuel sales and a restaurant, and one of those uses is only permitted by special use permit in the district, then the entire development requires a special use permit.

    Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-3.5 Typical Uses

    The "Typical Use Types" portion of each use category lists principal uses common to that use category. The names of these sample uses are generic and are based on common meanings, not on what a specific use may call itself. Many accessory uses that are often found with such principal uses are not shown on these lists.

    Commentary: For example, a use that calls itself "Wholesale Warehouse," but sells mostly to retail consumers, is included in the Retail Sales and Service category rather than the Wholesale Trade category.

    Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-3.6 Excluded Use Types

    The "Excluded Uses Types" portion of each use category lists uses that may appear to be part of a particular category, but that are expressly included in a different use category. 

    Effective on: 1/1/1901

    30-8-4.1 Agriculture

  • Typical Use Types
    The following are examples of typical agricultural uses:
    1. Forestry and Crops

    U. Short Term Rentals

    1. Short Term Rentals are allowed only in residential dwelling units.

    2. Short Term Rentals are required to secure a zoning permit and have the permit conspicuously posted on the associated property and on any advertisements or postings related to the Short Term Rental.  A new zoning permit is required if the property owner or local operator changes and must be done within 30 days of the change in owner or operator.  This permit may be denied or revoked by the Planning Department based on either the conviction of the owner/operator of a criminal offense on the Short Term Rental premises as outlined under North Carolina General Statutes or having two or more verified violations of this or any other City ordinance on the Short Term Rental premises within a 365 day period, in addition to any other enforcement actions outlined in 30-5-4.

    3. No more than two (2) adults per bedroom rented are allowed.  Children and other persons under age 18 as of the date of the rental do not count towards this cap.

    7. Short Term Rentals shall comply will all applicable State and local laws including, but not limited to, minimum housing, building and fire codes and shall pay all appropriate taxes, including occupancy taxes, to the relevant governmental entities.  Failure to do so will constitute grounds for revocation of the zoning permit.

    8. For multifamily buildings no more than one dwelling unit per building, or 25% of the total units per building, whichever is greater, may be used for a Short Term Rental.

    9. Parking for Short Term Rentals is limited to 1 car per bedroom rented.

    10. A Short Term Rental shall have the same parking rights as the dwelling unit where it is located and shall be subject to any relevant community standards normally applied to the dwelling unit..
