1. Determination of Substantially Similar Uses: When a use cannot be reasonably classified or appears to fit into multiple use categories, subcategories, or specific use types, in accordance with Wis. Stat. 62.23(7)(am), the Planning and Zoning Manager is authorized to determine the most similar and thus most appropriate use category, subcategory, or specific use.
   1. This determination should be made based on the actual or projected characteristics of the principal use or activity in relationship to the use category, subcategory, and specific use type descriptions provided in this chapter.
   2. To make use determinations, the Planning and Zoning Manager should consider:
      1. The types of activities that will occur in conjunction with the use.
      2. The types of equipment and processes to be used.
      3. The existence, number and frequency of residents, customers, or employees.
      4. Parking and loading and site improvement demands associated with the use.
      5. Other factors deemed relevant to a use determination.
2. Square Footage Distinctions. Whenever a use is identified with a square footage range, the gross floor area shall be used to determine whether a use is permitted, limited, conditional, or not permitted.
   
   

The following table identifies the principal uses allowed in each zoning district. Each use is given one of the following designations: P (Permitted Use), L (Limited Use), or C (Conditional Use). Uses without a designation are not permitted.
