The Town regulates land uses in each of its zones to promote the health, safety, and welfare of its residents. This chapter establishes permitted, accessory, and conditional uses in each zone based on the use table provided in subsection 2. The use table is established to avoid incompatible uses in close proximity, preserve the Town's unique village character, promote a tourism-based economy in the commercial zones, and to preserve the peace, quiet, and privacy in residential zones.

A use that is indicated as permitted ("P") is allowed in the applicable zone if the use is consistent with all laws and ordinances applicable to the use. An accessory use ("A") is allowed in the applicable zone only if the use is accessory to a primary, allowable use and is consistent with all laws and ordinances applicable to the accessory use. A conditional use ("C") is allowed in the applicable zone only with a conditional use permit for the use and if the use is consistent with all laws and ordinances applicable to the use. An overlay zone use ("OZ") is allowed in the applicable zone only when an overlay zone is first applied to the underlying zone. A nonpermitted use ("N") is prohibited in the applicable zone. A use that is not listed in the table below is prohibited unless it is allowed in accordance with subsection 3. below.

Note:

1.

Only when the Transient Lodging Overlay Zone is first applied to the property.

2.

Only on public parking lots existing on July 11, 2018 which are currently operating as non-conforming uses.

A person who desires to establish a use that is substantially similar to a use in section 10-7A-2, but is not specifically listed, may submit an application for interpretation to the Town Council pursuant to section 10-1-3. The Town Council will review the proposed use and determine whether the proposed use is substantially similar to a use listed in section 10-7A-2 of this chapter, and may therefore be allowed subject to the same restrictions and requirements that are applicable to the listed use to which it is substantially similar.
