The regulations of each zone set forth by this title shall be minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to each class or kind of structure or land, except as hereinafter provided.

   A.   Zoning Regulations: Zoning regulations shall be as set forth in the official schedule of zoning regulations and in the performance standards, chapter 6 of this title. To determine in which zone a specific use is allowed, it is necessary to find the use and read across the schedule until either the letter "P", "N" or the letter "S" appears in one of the columns. If the letter "P" appears, the use is an allowed use, if the letter "S" appears, the use is only allowed upon the issuance of a special or conditional use permit and if the letter "N" appears, the use is not permitted in that zone or district. All uses listed in the schedule will be considered public and/or commercial unless specifically designated as private, public or commercial.

   B.   Unlisted Land Uses: The administrator or his/her designee shall interpret the appropriate district for land uses not specifically listed by determining the district in which similar uses are permitted. Such other similar uses shall not be inconsistent with the purpose of the district, shall not impair the present or potential use of properties in the surrounding areas and shall not have any different or more detrimental effect upon the adjoining neighborhood areas or districts than the specifically listed buildings and uses. When several combined uses exist, or are proposed, the most intensive shall be considered as the primary activity.

Where a use is proposed and ambiguity exists concerning the appropriate district or procedure for the establishment of that particularly proposed use, said use may be established by obtainment of a special use permit in accordance with the provisions of this title until such time as this section is amended to specifically include such use.
