The use table classifies land uses into five major groupings: Residential, Public and Civic, Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural, and Other. These are referred to as “Use Groups.”

Each use group is further divided into “Use Categories.” These categories classify land uses based on common characteristics, such as the type of products sold, site conditions, or the amount of activity on the site. The “Use Standard” column in the use table provides a cross-reference to additional standards that apply to some uses, whether or not they are allowed as a permitted use or special use.

When a land use cannot be classified into a Use Category or appears to fit into multiple categories, the planning director is authorized to determine the most appropriate Use Category.

Uses identified with an “X” in the use table are permitted by-right in the designated zoning districts, subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.

Uses identified with a “P” in the use table require a site development plan. Development is to be consistent with the approved site development plan. If the property is undeveloped, any proposed use shall be consistent with design parameters approved with the zone change.

Uses identified with an “S” in the use table may be allowed in the designated zoning districts if approved in accordance with the special use approval procedure in Article IX, Division A. Approved special uses are subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.

Uses identified with a “T” in the use table are uses that require a temporary use permit pursuant to Article IX, Division B.

Uses that have no letter associated with them in the uses table are expressly prohibited. Uses not listed in the use table are also prohibited.
