§ 43-27 Explanation of Schedule of Use Regulations, List of Use Regulations and Schedule of Dimensional Regulations.

The accompanying Schedule of Use Regulations, List of Use Regulations by District and Schedule of Dimensional Regulations (Table 43-1, Table 43-2 and Table 43-3) list and define the permitted uses of land, buildings and structures, and the minimum and maximum dimensional requirements to be met in connection with such uses.[1] Uses are set forth in both the Schedule of Use Regulations and the List of Use Regulations by District. In the schedule, uses are listed only once, and it is indicated in which districts and in what manner each is permitted. On the list, each district is listed only once, and it is indicated what uses are permitted and in what manner they are permitted for that district. This schedule may be used to determine where a given use may be permitted, whereas the list may be used to determine what uses may be permitted in a given district. In case of conflict between the schedule and the list, the schedule shall govern. In addition to those uses listed specifically in § 43-28, Prohibited uses, any use not specifically listed as being permitted shall be deemed to be prohibited. No more than one permitted principal use is permitted on a lot in the S-200, S-100, S-75, S-60, S-50 and T Districts.
