(a)

When a use is not specifically listed as a permitted use or conditional use under a particular zone, and when that use is proposed or classification is requested, the director of community development, upon written request or upon his own initiative, shall determine whether the use is sufficiently similar to a listed use in the particular zone to justify a finding that it should be deemed a permitted use or a conditional use in one or more zones. Before permitting or classifying an unlisted use, the director shall first determine that all of the following conditions exist:

(1)

The proposed use would meet the objectives of the zone;

(2)

The proposed use and its operation are compatible with the uses permitted in the zone; and

(3)

The proposed use is similar to one or more uses in the zone.

(b)

The director shall notify the planning commission and city council of determination of use.
