After a certificate of occupancy is issued for the building in conformance with the approved site plan, any change in use allowed in the General Industrial Zone may be allowed in the structure, except as defined below by asterisks, as long as the parking requirements, sanitation requirements, and building and fire code requirements, etc., can be met and the exterior site plan is not changed. Such changes in use need approval from the Zoning Enforcement Official (ZEO).
