The sections that follow present a brief statement of interpretation of the district regulations set forth [in] §§ 265-27 through 265-37, regarding the Schedule of District Regulations.

A.

Statements of purpose and intent. The purpose and intent statement presented for each zoning district sets forth the underlying and primary purpose and intent of a given district.

B.

Permitted uses.

(1)

It is the intent of this chapter to permit any use, not otherwise prohibited by law, to locate in a specified zoning district(s), either as a permitted use, a conditional use or a temporary use. In the event there is not a particular use listed in the chapter that corresponds with the use in question as determined by the Development Services Director then it shall be interpreted that the use in the chapter having the most similar characteristics as the use in question shall govern except in the event the use is expressly prohibited.

(2)

The term "permitted uses" represents only those uses that are permitted by right in a given district and does not apply to uses otherwise allowed by conditional use approval.

(3)

No structure shall hereafter be built or moved, and no structure or land shall hereafter be used or occupied, except for a use that is permitted in the zoning district in which the structure or land is located.

(4)

No use shall be allowed in any district that is not permitted by the regulations for the district.
