Purpose. The purpose of this article is to indicate which land uses may locate in each zoning district and under what requirements, and which land uses may not locate therein. Certain land uses may locate in a given district as a matter of right upon compliance with special regulations for such a land use. A further distinction is made for land uses that may locate in a given district only upon obtaining a conditional use or temporary use permit.

Regulation of allowable uses. The allowable land uses for each zoning district are established in this article. Detailed descriptions and regulations for uses are found in this article. Even if a land use may be indicated as permitted by right or requiring a conditional use in a particular district, such a land use may not necessarily be permitted or permissible on any or every property in such district. No land use is permitted or permissible on a property unless it can be located on it or implemented in full compliance with all of the applicable standards and regulations of this chapter or unless an appropriate variance has been granted pursuant to § 245-54.

Each application for, and instance of, a conditional use shall be considered a unique situation and shall not be construed as precedence for similar requests. Except for uses approved under a general development plan and final development plan in a planned community development district (see Article VIII), all uses requiring a conditional use permit shall comply with the procedural requirements of § 245-16.

Accessory land uses. Accessory land uses are allowed subject to all the requirements and exemptions applicable to principal land uses permitted by right as listed in Subsection C above.
