In the following Table of Permitted Uses,[1] those uses permitted by right in a zoning district are designated by the symbol "X." Those uses that may be permitted as a special exception use in a zoning district, with Zoning Hearing Board approval required in accordance with Article XII, are designated by the symbol "S." Uses that may be permitted as a conditional use by City Council in a zoning district are designated by the symbol "C." Uses not specifically permitted in a particular district shall be prohibited uses, except that uses not addressed in any zoning district in this section may be permitted, as provided in § 300-17.

Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to any of the uses as permitted in the Table of Permitted Uses are permitted by right, in the same districts and under the same regulations and restrictions as the principal use to which they are accessory, provided that accessory uses shall not exceed 25% of the gross floor area of the principal use. If a use includes more than two coin-operated or token-operated electronic amusement machines (other than an adult-oriented business) in a room, it shall also be required to meet the requirements of a game room.

Whenever, in any zoning district in any part of the City, a use is neither specifically permitted nor prohibited, and an application is made by a property owner or authorized agent to the Zoning Officer for such use, the Zoning Officer shall refer the application to the Zoning Hearing Board to hear and decide such request as a special exception. The Board shall have the authority to permit the use or deny the use in accordance with the standards governing special exception applications. The use may be permitted if it is similar to and compatible with permitted uses in the district and in no way is in conflict with the general purposes and intent of this chapter. The burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood.

If the proposed development would generate 50 or more new vehicle trips in the peak direction (inbound or outbound) during the site's peak traffic hour, a traffic impact study prepared and conducted in accordance with Ch. 265, Subdivision and Land Development, Article VIII, Traffic and Transportation, must be submitted at the time of the zoning application, unless the development is exempted by the criteria set forth in §265-44; however, developments, expansions, or changes in use that require the submission of a land development plan are exempt from this zoning requirement.
