The Use Table in this Article lists by Land Use Type (i.e. residential, commercial, etc.) where a particular land use is allowed in a respective base-zoning district.

If a land use is permitted by-right in a Zoning District, it is identified by the symbol "P."

The symbol "S" is noted if a land use is permitted after review and approval as a Special Land Use in accordance with Article 4: Special Uses.

If a land use type is not allowed in a Base Zoning District, it is blank without a "P" or "S."

Land use types, denoted with an " *," are further regulated with site-specific standards as identified in Article 7: Site Development Standards.

If an application is submitted for a use type that is not classified in the Land Use Table of this Article, the Planning Commission is authorized to classify the new or unlisted use type into an existing land use category that most closely fits the new or unlisted use. If no similar use determination can be made, the Planning Commission, zoning administrator, and/or their designee may initiate an amendment to the text of the Zoning Ordinance.

Land use types listed in the Land Use and Base Zoning District Table are defined in Article 15: Definitions of this Zoning Ordinance.
