To accommodate the future land use categories and associated densities and intensities established in the comprehensive plan, and to protect and preserve property values from the encroachment of detrimental or adverse use of the land, the following zoning districts are hereby established by category, and generally described.

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24)

(a)

Conservation Zoning District (CV). The purpose and intent of the CV (Conservation) zoning district is to designate and preserve lands which are owned or maintained by federal, state, regional and local agencies for purposes of environmental protection, conservation, and stormwater management. Public or private use or development in this district is prohibited except when consistent with the controlling agency's policies and regulations and the Sumter County Comprehensive Plan. Principal uses shall be limited to those approved by the controlling agency.

(b)

Agricultural Zoning Districts (A10, A10C, AC). This category identifies and provides for lands which are to be protected for the continuation or establishment of agricultural activities. These districts are intended to allow all agricultural, aquaculture, forestry and horticulture activities as noted in Table 13-417A and, depending on the district, may allow one (1) conventional or mobile home dwelling unit per parcel as a permitted use. In addition, accessory uses and other special or conditional uses are allowed when specified in this article.

(c)

Residential districts. These districts identify and provide for lands which are suitable for residential uses. Unless specified otherwise in this chapter, in rural residential zoning districts, the numeric value in the district title generally denotes the minimum parcel size allowed, in acres. In residential zones, the numeric value denotes the maximum number of dwelling units allowed per gross acre. The letter "C" following the designation denotes that only conventional construction and class A manufactured homes are allowed. The letter "M" denotes that class A and B manufactured homes are allowed in addition to conventional construction. See Table 13-431A for permitted uses.

(1)

Rural Residential Districts (RR5, RR5C, RR2.5, RR2.5C, RR1, RR1C). The purpose and intent of the single-family rural residential zoning districts is to provide a range of densities, promote a rural residential atmosphere where families, depending on the district, may reside in one (1) conventional or Class A or B mobile home dwelling unit per parcel and grow food and keep livestock for domestic use, and also to provide a buffer between agricultural and higher density residential uses.

(2)

Urban Residential Zoning Districts (R2M, R2C, R4M, R4C, R6M, and R6C). The purpose and intent of the urban residential zoning districts is to provide a range of urban densities, residential atmosphere where families, depending on the district, may reside in one (1) conventional or Class A or B mobile home dwelling unit per parcel or a multifamily building, and to provide a buffer between districts of lower and higher residential densities, commercial or other more intensive zoning districts.

(3)

High Density Residential Districts (HDR-12, HDR-24). The purpose and intent of the high density residential zoning districts is to provide higher density, residential atmosphere where families may reside in a multifamily building, and to provide a buffer between districts of lower and higher residential densities, commercial or other more intensive zoning districts.

(d)

Commercial zoning districts. These districts provide for lands which are suitable for commercial uses. The properties on which such land use is located should be of such size, shape and location as to permit development of well-organized commercial facilities with proper access roads, ingress and egress, off-street parking, loading space and other necessary requirements and amenities. See Table 13-417A for allowable uses.

(1)

CN (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District. The purpose and intent of this zone is to provide for limited retail sales and services necessary to meet the immediate needs of the neighborhood from a location that is central, convenient, safe, and harmonious to existing and proposed development.

a.

Neighborhood commercial may be allowed within the Residential and Agricultural future land use categories, provided the site is located within the UDA.

b.

Parcels zoned CN shall front on a road designated as arterial or collector on comprehensive plan Map 2-2 Existing Road Network—Functional Classification, or on another paved and publicly maintained road at a location with direct access to an arterial or collector road.

(2)

CL (Light Commercial) Zoning District. The purpose and intent of this zoning district is to provide for harmonious retail and wholesale sales and services necessary to meet the general needs of a community, in which the principal activities are conducted entirely within an enclosed structure. This zoning district allows moderate processing of products as an accessory use to sales and services. Light commercial districts shall only be allowed within areas designated as commercial on the FLUM.

(3)

CH (Heavy Commercial) Zoning District. The purpose and intent of this zoning district is to provide for harmonious retail and wholesale sales and services necessary to meet the general needs of a community, in which the principal activities are conducted both inside and outside of an enclosed structure. Uses in this zoning district typically require outdoor storage or activities, have higher trip generation rates, or have the potential for greater nuisance effect on adjacent properties due to noise, light and glare, or typical hours of operation, than neighborhood and light commercial uses. This zoning district also allows moderate processing of products as an accessory use to sales and services. Heavy commercial districts shall only be allowed within areas designated as commercial on the FLUM.

(4)

CR (Regional Commercial) Zoning District. The purpose and intent of this zoning district is to provide for those retail and wholesale sales and services necessary to meet the needs of several communities, as well as intrastate or interstate visitors and commerce, and to allow a moderate amount of processing of products. Regional commercial districts shall only be allowed within the commercial future land use category and in an Economic Activity Center as outlined in the Economic Element of the Sumter County Comprehensive Plan. This zoning district shall cluster in depth at intersections of federal, state or county arterial or collector roads.

(e)

ID (Industrial) Zoning District. This district provides for lands that are suitable for manufacturing and industrial activities, and limited retail sales, provided such uses do not present a threat to the public health, safety and welfare through air, water and noise pollution and other impacts. The properties on which such land use is located should be of such size, shape and location as to permit development of well-organized industrial facilities with proper access roads, ingress and egress, off- street parking, loading space and other necessary requirements and amenities. It is not the intent of this Article to assign the various industrial activities to specific industrial districts according to what is manufactured, fabricated, processed, assembled, stored, warehoused, wholesaled, distributed or otherwise handled. Rather, the intent is to permit industrial activities on the basis of their exposure to, and effect on, adjoining industrial and non-industrial uses and on the general community. See Table 13-417A for permitted uses. The intent of the district is to:

(1)

Provide for, by either permitted, special or conditional use, such industrial activities, as provided in Table 13-417A, that have no more than a moderate adverse impact on adjoining non-industrial properties.

(2)

Provide for limited retail sales, including retail goods that include on-site production, those that involve significant truck traffic and those that may have significant secondary effects on other, more sensitive, land uses.

(3)

Prohibit uses within the zoning district which could interfere with development of industrial uses.

(4)

Prohibit uses within the zoning district which could have serious adverse effect on the surrounding area.

(5)

Consistent with Policy 8.1 of the Sumter County Economic Element, functional locations for industry and commerce will provide lands for intensive development intended for the county's economic initiatives.

(f)

PIE (Public Uses, Institutional and Educational) Zoning District. This district identifies and provides for lands which are suitable for conducting public services provided by public, quasi-public and semi-public entities. The properties on which such land use is located should be of such size, shape and location as to permit development of well-organized facilities with proper access roads, ingress and egress, off-street parking, loading space and other necessary requirements and amenities. The purpose and intent of this zoning district is to provide lands which are suitable for government offices, educational, health, social services, religious, active and passive parks, utility, transportation, correctional (prison) and other public type facilities.

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

(a)

Setbacks (side and rear). The setback distances in Tables 13-413A and 13-416A shall be the minimum setback distances from side and rear lot/parcel lines for all substantial above ground structures, including accessory structures, and in or below ground structures, unless specified otherwise in this Land Development Code.

(b)

Setbacks from water bodies. The required building setback from on or off-site ditches and canals shall be ten (10) feet, measured from the normal high-water elevation contour of the adjacent water body. See section 13-901 for other provisions applicable to properties abutting surface water bodies. Nothing in this section shall prohibit erection and maintenance of any boathouse on a water shoreline, provided such boat house meets the minimum side setbacks for accessory structures.

(c)

Setbacks from rights-of-way. No portion of any building or other substantial above or below ground structure may be located on any lot or parcel closer to any street right-of-way line or centerline or lot line than is authorized in this section. For railroad rights-of-way, the side and rear setbacks shall apply.

(1)

Applicability. As used in this section, the terms "building" or "structure" includes any substantial structure which by nature of its size, scale, dimensions, bulk, or use tends to constitute a visual obstruction or generate activity similar to that usually associated with a building. Purely aesthetic, non-habitable features such as stacked stone, knee-walls or other similar structures shall not be subject to these provisions so long as they are of limited scale and obtrusiveness. Sign structure setbacks shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and by other sections of this Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following structures shall be deemed to fall within this description:

a.

Gas pumps and overhead canopies or roofs.

b.

Fences running along lot lines adjacent to public street rights-of-way if such fences, by reason of their height or opaqueness, constitute a threat to public safety and welfare.

(2)

Measurement.

a.

Setback distances shall be measured from the lot line or street rights-of-way line as follows:

1.

If the street right-of-way line is deeded right-of-way (by reference to a recorded map, deed or plat), the setback shall be measured from such right-of-way line.

2.

If the right-of-way line is the edge of a prescriptive easement, the setback shall be measured from the centerline of the easement.

b.

Setback distances shall be measured to the building or structure as follows:

1.

Measurement shall be to the nearest vertical wall or support of the building or structure, provided any above ground extension of the building does not encroach into the required setback more than two (2) feet, or onto adjoining property.

2.

Any above ground encroachment of more than two (2) feet into the required setback will require a compensating setback increase in the structure's wall or support.

(3)

Setbacks from roads and access easements.

a.

Minimum setback. The distances in Table 13-412A shall be the minimum setback for all above or below ground structures, including accessory structures, unless otherwise specifically provided in article V. The setback providing the greatest distance from the road centerline shall be used.

TABLE 13-412A BUILDING SETBACKS FROM ROADS

^* Applies to access easements or private roads that serve three (3) or more lots, or more than three (3) dwelling units, or that serve any nonresidential use tending to generate traffic equivalent to three (3) or more dwelling units.

^** The authority may reduce the building setback along minor local roads in a recreational vehicle park when the plan proposes an efficient and safe design (must be done as part of the site plan approval). Notwithstanding the above, the sum of the road right-of-way, plus the adjacent front setbacks from street right-of-way lines shall not be less than fifty (50) feet.

b.

Exception to Table 13-412A. Notwithstanding the requirements of Table 13-412A, where deemed necessary to allow reasonable use of the property for placement of a principal structure, the applicable setback on corner lots established prior to the effective date of this chapter and having less than seventy-five (75) feet road frontage may be reduced by one (1) foot for every road frontage foot less than seventy-five (75) feet, but in no case may the setback be less than fifteen (15) feet.

(d)

Lot front.

(1)

The front of a lot with frontage on more than one (1) road or accessway shall be the shortest distance along the road/accessway.

(2)

On a through lot, both yards facing a roadway shall be deemed lot fronts.

(3)

Combining existing platted lots of record without replatting (through the property appraiser) shall not change the lot frontage due to location of a corner.

(e)

Building height limitations/requirements. The maximum height for habitable structures shall be as provided in section 13-413 and section 13-414.

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

Table 13-413A contains the dimensional requirements for residential zoning districts. Dimensional standards for PUDs are determined during the rezoning approval process.

Table 13-413A: Residential zoning districts dimensional standards

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

(a)

Purpose. The density and lot size provisions contained in this article may be adjusted to accommodate the division of a property solely utilized as a homestead for distribution to qualified family members (i.e., grandparent, parent, stepparent, adopted parent, child, stepchild, adopted child, grandchild, or sibling).

(b)

Minimum requirements. The following provisions and the overlay zone requirements (see division 4 of this article) shall be met.

(1)

The grantor shall have a homestead exemption granted by the Sumter County Property Appraiser for a period of not less than five (5) consecutive years. This requirement does not apply to a parent parcel owned as of September 30,2006.

(2)

No building permit shall be issued to any person other than the family member to whom the property was conveyed, or their inheritors, for a period of three (3) years after the conveyance.

(3)

No transfer shall be allowed to a family member who has not attained age eighteen (18). A property owner may transfer only one (1) parcel of land to each family member set forth above.

(4)

The maximum number of parcels that may be created from a parent tract under this section is six (6).

(5)

Parcels created and remainder parcels in areas designated as agricultural on the FLUM shall have a minimum area of two (2) acres each. Parcels created and remainder parcels in other residential categories shall each have the minimum area required by the parent tract's land use category on the FLUM.

(6)

Parcels created hereunder shall front on a paved private road, a publicly maintained road, or an easement. If a private easement is involved, it shall meet the standards of section 13-700(c)(4), Access Easements.

(7)

Flag lots are only permitted on parcels ten (10) acres or greater within the agricultural future land use. See standards for flag lots in section 13-700.

(8)

This section shall not apply to lots in platted subdivisions.

(9)

Parcels not served by public potable water and sanitary sewer must contain a minimum of one (1) acre of usable land appropriate for siting of a residential structure, private well, and septic system. Parcels served by public potable water, but not sanitary sewer, must contain a minimum of one-half (½) acre of usable land appropriate for siting a residential structure and septic system.

(10)

The deed of conveyance shall include the following on the face of the deed and shall be processed with a copy of the recorded deed being provided to the county to implement the provisions of this section, to-wit: "This conveyance creates a family exemption parcel which is subject to all regulations and restrictions as set forth in Section 13-414 of the Sumter County Code."

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

(a)

Purpose and intent. Conservation subdivision design is encouraged to provide housing in a manner that preserves agricultural and forestry lands, natural and cultural features, scenic viewsheds, and rural community character that would be at great risk of becoming lost through conventional development approaches. Conservation subdivisions should be incorporated, to the greatest extent practicable, into an interconnected network of permanent greenway conservation lands adding both economic and environmental value to the proposed development and to the broader community. In addition, conservation subdivisions shall allow for a diversity of lot sizes, housing choices, and building densities.

(b)

Eligibility. Conservation subdivision provisions may be applied at the request of a landowner within the Agricultural Future Land Use category where the project site shall have a minimum of one hundred (100) acres. In addition, the subject property for the Conservation Subdivision shall be located on or no farther than one-half (½) mile from an arterial or collector road. Any proposed development shall be required to make any access and improvements required to bring substandard roads to standard conditions and to assure the safe operation of the road. Any traffic study done by the county using consultants to verify needed road and access improvements shall be paid for by the developer.

(c)

Procedures and review.

(1)

Pre-application meeting. Applicants shall be required to participate in a pre-application meeting with county staff prior to submitting an application for a conservation subdivision. At least five (5) working days prior to the meeting, the applicant shall provide the land preservation plan, and the site's geographic features and land use map as described below.

(2)

Rezone to PUD. Conservation subdivisions shall be processed through the planned unit development (PUD) rezoning process. In addition to submittals required under other provisions of this code, the following submittals shall also be required. The required plans and maps shall be prepared and sealed by a licensed architect, engineer, or landscape architect, as appropriate.

a.

A land preservation plan with conservation easement language, showing all existing vegetation and proposed changes and new plantings, if any.

b.

A geographic features and land use map of all land within five hundred (500) feet of the site showing floodplains, area hydrography, publicly or privately managed parks or preserves, and adopted or proposed greenways.

(d)

Density. In the agriculture future land use category, the maximum density within the development area (defined in subsection (f)) of a conservation subdivision shall be one (1) dwelling unit per three (3) gross acres, not to exceed one hundred (100) lots.

(e)

Minimum lot size. The individual lot sizes shall be a minimum of one (1) acre.

(f)

Design standards. Conservation subdivisions shall be made up of two (2) distinct areas, the reserve area and the development area, which combined comprise the total conservation subdivision parcel. The total parcel shall be contiguous in location and configuration, except that new roads, utility easements or other similar linear infrastructure features may traverse it.

(g)

Reserve area.

a.

The acreage that comprises the reserve area shall comprise no less than fifty (50) percent of the total parcel; shall be designated as permanent open space via agricultural and conservation easements; shall be continuous and contiguous to the greatest extent practicable with other portions of the site including the reserve area; shall be contiguous with or proximal to existing or planned public or private greenspace to the greatest extent practicable, and shall be of sufficient size and buffered to accommodate authorized uses and ensure the protection of all critical on-site resources that are to be preserved. The intended usefulness of such easements shall not be impaired, shall remain in perpetuity, or until release by law, and shall be recorded as such in the records of Sumter County prior to a development permit being issued for the project.

b.

Preservation areas and viewshed areas within designated protection zones for canopy roads shall be incorporated into the reserve area; conservation areas, wetlands, 100-year floodplains, archaeological sites, agriculture and silviculture, rural roads, and other open space shall be incorporated into the reserve area to the greatest extent practicable.

c.

The reserve area shall adjoin any existing or planned adjacent areas of open space, or natural areas that would be potential sites for inclusion as part of a future area of protected open space.

d.

Within the agriculture future land use, reserve area land shall be reserved permanently by easement for natural open space, passive recreation uses (e.g., greenbelts, trails, picnic areas or open fields), or environmental purposes, but may contain accessory structures such as barns or utility sheds, provided they are not habitable.

e.

Reserve areas can be used for agriculture (no mining), provided that the area is not classified as a naturally forested area, conservation or preservation area. Existing agricultural, grazing, and horticultural uses of the property may continue, provided that all such activities be designed to prevent soil erosion; to protect water quality and wetlands; and to maintain the scope of traditional or existing agricultural activities under best management practices thereof. Reclaiming planted forested sites not classified as "naturally forested" to fields, pastures, orchards, groves, and turning open sites to forests is allowed. Usage on open, non-forested sites may be rotated.

f.

If a reserve area is to be used for agricultural purposes, the applicant shall establish a buffer between common pastures, animal enclosure areas or croplands and residential lots adjacent to but not part of the conservation subdivision. Such buffers may be considered as part of the reserve area for purposes of meeting the minimum relative size requirement of the reserve area. The applicant may also be required to establish appropriate easements to address common impacts of normal agricultural operations (e.g., noise, dust or odors).

g.

Reserve areas can be used for silviculture, provided that the area is not classified as a naturally forested area, a conservation area, or a preservation area. Selective thinning of existing planted pines shall be permitted in conservation and preservation areas on a case-by-case basis if managed to promote a native forest stand. All other existing silviculture operations in proposed reserve areas shall employ all best management practices (BMPs) as may be adopted or updated by the state division of forestry from time to time.

h.

The reserve area shall be placed under a permanent easement that runs with the land. Subject to approval by the county, the easement may be assigned to the local government or to an existing land trust that is a 501(c)(3) organization for which conservation of resources is a principal goal and which can provide reasonable assurance it has financial and staff resources to monitor and manage the easement.

i.

Stormwater management facilities which are otherwise permissible are allowed in the reserve area, provided that the facilities are located outside of preservation areas, canopy road protection zones, naturally forested areas, and meet one (1) of the following two (2) standards:

1.

Wet detention ponds shall have side slopes of 6:1 or flatter with appropriate wetland tree and aquatic plants species that visually integrate the stormwater facility into the overall reserve area.

2.

Retention ponds shall have side slopes of 4:1 or flatter with appropriate tree and plant species that visually integrate the stormwater facility into the overall reserve area.

j.

All applicants for a conservation subdivision shall submit a management plan describing how the reserve area land will be maintained in perpetuity, including provision of a dedicated source of funds approved by the local government, to finance the timely and consistent execution of the plan. If the open space is not properly maintained, the county may assume responsibility of maintenance and charge the property owner or homeowners association a fee which covers maintenance and administrative costs.

(h)

Development area. The development area shall include that portion of the parcel proposed for development at the density established for the land use category and base zoning applicable to the subject property. The development area shall; be located on the least environmentally or otherwise significant portions of the total conservation subdivision; comprise no more than fifty (50) percent of the total conservation subdivision parcel; be contiguous and configured in such a manner as to not adversely interfere with continued farming or silviculture uses in the reserve area; and allow maximum open space to be easily maintained in the reserve area. Design of the development area shall follow the procedural steps set forth below.

a.

Manufactured homes (mobile homes class A or B) are prohibited; all homes must meet Florida Building Code construction standards.

b.

Delineate areas of the site to be reserved due to their significant features and value to the area's continued natural character;

c.

Determine the number of allowable lots desired;

d.

Locate potential development sites on the area of the tract not delineated as reservation areas, with due consideration for topography, soil suitability for construction and septic system use, and efficient service by public or central water and/or sewerage systems, as applicable;

e.

Align streets to serve house sites, with due consideration for topography and connections to existing, planned or potential streets in adjacent areas, and align pedestrian trails if planned;

f.

Delineate boundaries of individual residential lots where lot sizes and shapes, block sizes and shapes, and street networks and alignments shall be designed in accordance with accepted planning practices to produce a rational and economical system without undue clearing or grading. The lot arrangement, design and orientation shall be such that all lots will provide satisfactory building sites that are properly related to topography and the character of surrounding development, encourage a range of housing types and sizes, and provide safe and convenient vehicular access to public streets; and

g.

Specific development and locational standards shall be subject to the established standards of the planned development (PD) zoning district and shall be established at the time of development plan submittal.

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

Table 13-416A contains the dimensional requirements for non-residential zoning districts. Dimensional standards for PUDs are determined during the rezoning approval process.

Table 13-416A: Non-Residential zoning districts dimensional standards

;adv=6w; ¹ In agricultural districts, lots which do not meet the minimum lot area or lot width requirements may be utilized for permitted agricultural activities, including the construction of agricultural-exempt structures.

(Ord. No. 2024-35, § 3(Att. A), 12-10-24; Ord. No. 2025-11, § 3(Exh. A), 4-22-25)

The presumption established by this chapter is that, unless expressly prohibited, all legitimate uses of land may be allowed as either a principal, temporary, or accessory use within at least one (1) zoning district in the BOCC's jurisdiction. See article V for standards applicable to temporary and accessory uses.

(a)

Principal uses. Principal uses shall be allowed as one (1) of the following:

(1)

Permitted use (P). Uses that are allowed by right if they are in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(2)

Special use (S). Special uses are those not normally permitted in the various zoning districts but may be allowed under certain circumstances. A special use is not allowed by right and there is no presumption that special use approval will be granted.

(3)

Conditional use (C). Conditional uses are those that, because of their unique characteristics, are not permitted as a matter of right or through special use. Such conditional uses, unless properly controlled, pose potentially serious health, safety or welfare concerns for the community. Therefore, it is the intent of the BOCC to ensure, through available and reasonable methods, that the location, construction, operation, and maintenance of a conditional use produces minimal adverse effect on the environment and public health, safety, and welfare, and to fully balance the need for such conditional use with the broad interests of the public. A conditional use permit is not a permit of right and there is no presumption that such a permit will be granted.

(b)

Table of principal uses.

(1)

Table 13-417A lists the various principal land uses and indicates in which zoning districts the uses are permissible as permitted (P), special (S), or conditional (C) uses. This table should be read in close conjunction with section 13-200 Definitions, section 13-312(a) Exempt development, (3) Agricultural classification, the provisions applicable to the specific use (referenced in the "See Section" column), and the other interpretative provisions set forth in this code. Uses not listed in the table are prohibited.

(2)

Because the list of uses set forth in Table 13-417A cannot be all inclusive, those uses that are listed shall be interpreted liberally to include other uses that are similar in nature, size and effect on the community. The county administrator or designee shall have the authority to classify uses not included in this table.

(c)

Prohibited uses. In addition to the uses not specifically listed in Tables 13-417A, the following land uses are specifically prohibited in all zoning districts:

(1)

Hazardous materials.

a.

Handling, storing, transferring, or processing of waste radioactive materials, except on-site by generators.

b.

Landfills or other land disposal facilities for biohazardous or hazardous wastes, or petroleum contaminated soil.

c.

Handling, storing, transferring, or processing of waste gases which debilitate or destroy human biological systems, except on-site by generators.

d.

In addition to the above, any uses, operations or structures involving waste materials which pose potentially serious health, safety or welfare concerns for the community, which are not specifically, provisionally, or by reasonable implication authorized in Table 13-417A, or in any other section of this chapter, are expressly prohibited. The county administrator or designee shall be responsible for denying any application submittals for uses not provided for herein; however, any such denial may be appealed to the BOCC, as provided for in section 13-360.

(2)

Pre-housing and urban development (HUD) mobile homes. Mobile homes constructed prior to June 15, 1976.

(3)

Wellfields for exportation of water. Wellfields supplying ground water to other counties, unless approved by the BOCC and the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority.

(4)

Sludge and septage.

a.

Stockpiling of sludge or septage for land spreading, except as specifically approved.

b.

Disposal of sludge or septage which causes a nuisance.

(5)

Massage parlors or massage establishments operated by any person not licensed by the State of Florida to provide massage services;

(6)

Motion picture arcades or arcade booths.

(d)

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) numbers. Table 13-417A includes references to the current edition of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). These codes, as may be amended from time to time, shall be used to determine the classification of use groups. A four (4) digit NAICS group number shall override a three (3) digit number, and a three (3) digit group number shall control and override a two (2) digit group number.

(e)

Change in principal use. A substantial change in the principal use of property occurs whenever the essential character or nature of the activity conducted on the property changes to the extent that:

(1)

The new principal use is not a permitted use, or

(2)

The new principal use is permitted, but substantially different than the original use, or

(3)

The new principal use is a different special or conditional use than the one (1) previously approved.

Table 13-417A: Schedule of Uses

P = Permitted Use, S = Special Use, C = Conditional Use

^* These uses are allowed as secondary uses in residential districts when the property owner develops a portion of the site with a residential use permitted in the district but wishes to preserve the agriculture function on a portion of the site.

^** These uses in this zoning district will be considered on a per half-acre basis.
