Kissimmee City Zoning Code

14-4-5

Schedule of uses for standard zoning districts.

Except as noted otherwise in this Code, regulations governing the use of land within the standard zoning districts shall be as shown in Table 4-1 for residential districts and Table 4-2 for non-residential districts. Uses of land or structures not expressly listed as permitted (P) or conditional (C) uses shall be prohibited. Uses subject to additional standards are noted with a section number on the second column. Mixed-use developments may only include uses that are specifically allowed in the applicable zoning district. If any use in a proposed mixed-use development requires conditional use approval, the entire mixed-use development must be reviewed under the conditional use process.

Whenever there is any uncertainty as to the classification of a use, the director shall determine the classification, if any, within which the use falls, based on its characteristics and similarity to other uses in the district. If a use has characteristics similar to more than one classification, the use shall be construed as the classification having the most similar characteristics. In the event that a particular use is determined not to be within an allowed defined use, then the particular use shall be prohibited.
