§ 15.18 Interpretation of Use Table.

A. 
Permitted uses. The City permits uses identified with "P" as-of-right in the subject zoning district, subject to compliance with any supplemental regulations identified in its definition.
B. 
Frontage uses. The City permits uses identified with ">" as-of-right on parcels with frontage along arterial streets in the subject zoning district, subject to compliance with any supplemental regulations identified in its definition.
C. 
Prohibited uses. The City prohibits uses identified with "-" and uses not listed in the Use Table and that the Zoning Administrator does not interpret to fall within any defined use category or subcategory.
D. 
References. The final column of the Use Table includes a cross-reference to the use definition and any applicable supplemental use regulations that apply to that use. The City requires compliance with supplemental use regulations.
E. 
Use classification. The Zoning Administrator may assign proposed uses to the appropriate category based on the provisions of this division. If the ordinances do not clearly define the proposed use, they may determine the most similar use category based on the actual or projected characteristics of the proposed use. When determining use categories, the Zoning Administrator must consider:
(1) 
The proposed use's designation under the International Building Code;
(2) 
The types of activities that typically occur in conjunction with the use;
(3) 
The proposed use's equipment and processes;
(4) 
The existence, number, and frequency of residents, customers, or employees;
(5) 
Parking demands; and
(6) 
Other factors the Zoning Administrator deems relevant.
