Article F USE REGULATIONS

§9-1250 GENERAL PROVISIONS

Uses permitted by right (with or without additional development requirements), or as a special use permit in each zoning district shall be determined from the Use Table, §9-1254. Uses and activities are grouped by use categories based on common function, product or physical characteristics. The use categories used in the Permitted Use Table are defined and listed in Article S Interpretation & Definitions. The uses permitted shall also be subject to additional applicable standards of the Land Development Ordinance, specifically including but not limited to, Article H Building Type & Architectural Standards, Article I Environmental Protection Standards, Article J Subdivision Regulations, Article L Signs, Article N Parking, Loading & Lighting Design Standards, Article O Landscaping & Tree Protection Standards and Article Q Procedures & Administration.

a. Principal Uses

Principal uses are characterized by the type and amount of activity; the type of customers or residents; how goods or services are sold or delivered; likely impact on surrounding properties; and site conditions. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning principal uses to appropriate zoning districts.

b. Accessory Uses

Accessory uses are allowed by right in conjunction with a principal use. Accessory uses in the Land Development Ordinance include but are not limited to uses that are buildings; structures; units; in-ground or above ground; portable or non-portable; habitable or non-habitable; and residential or nonresidential. No accessory use may be established on a zoning lot without a principal use. Refer to Article F Use Regulations, §9-1255, p. (1) Accessory Uses for standards and/or requirements.

c. Temporary Use

Temporary uses are allowed in conjunction with standards and/or requirements as determined by the Land Development Ordinance. Temporary uses are seasonal uses with a maximum of six (6) months or less within a given year; offices for and during construction, sale or lease of a development project; and special events or signs based on specific applications and times designated by the Land Development Ordinance.
