The purpose of this Section is to create Use Unit Classifications. A Use Unit Classification is a group of related individual uses having similar functions, products, or performances which provides a basis for their systematic assignment to specific zoning districts in accordance with criteria directly relevant to the health, safety, and public welfare of the citizens of the City of Noble.

In event of any questions as to the appropriate use classification of any existing or proposed use or activity, the Clerk shall have the authority to determine the appropriate classification, subject to the right of appeal to the Board of Adjustment. In making such determinations, the Clerk shall consider the characteristics of the particular use in question, and shall consider any functional, product, service, or physical facility requirements common with or similar to uses cited as examples of use classification. The Clerk shall maintain a list of all such determinations, and shall periodically recommend to the Planning Commission additions, deletions, or revisions to the use clarifications to reflect contemporary usage and terminology. A use, if specifically listed in the Use Unit Classification, shall not by interpretation be included as a typical use within any other classification unless so listed.

Use units shall be applied to the uses permitted and special use permits categories of the Zoning Planning and Zoning Code for the purpose of determining which land uses are eligible in each Zoning District.
