§ 300-32. Tables of permitted uses.

Tables in Appendix A list the principal and accessory uses allowed within all base zoning districts. Each of the listed uses is defined in Article VIII, Definitions.

A. 

Explanation of table abbreviations.

(1) 

Permitted uses. "PP" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right, without special conditions other than those imposed upon other uses by right in the district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this chapter, including the use specific standards set forth in this article.

(2) 

Special permit uses. "SP" in a cell indicates that, in the respective zoning district, the use is allowed only if reviewed and approved as a special permit use in accordance with the procedures of § 300-53. Special permit uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this chapter, including the use-specific standards set forth in this article.

(3) 

Accessory uses. "PA" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed as an accessory use to a permitted use on the same lot in the zoning district. Accessory uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this chapter, including the use specific standards set forth in the article. They may be permitted by right or require special permit review.

(4) 

Prohibited uses. "N" or a dash in a cell indicates that the use is prohibited in the respective zoning district.

(5) 

Use-specific standards. Regardless of whether a use is allowed by right or permitted as a special permit use, there may be additional standards that are applicable to the use. Use-specific standards are noted through a cross-reference in the last column of the table. Cross-references refer to Article XIII, Use Standards. These standards apply in all districts unless otherwise specified.

B. 

Table organization. The tables in Appendix A classify land uses and activities into general "use categories" (e.g., residential, commercial) and more specific "use groups" (e.g., household living, office uses) and "use types" (e.g., one-family, townhouse) based on common functional, product or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. This classification provides a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts. However, these classifications are intended merely as an indexing tool and are not regulatory. They are not intended to list every use or activity that may be appropriate within each category. Specific uses may be listed in one category but also be appropriate for one or more other categories even when not so listed.

Editor's Note: Appendix A is included at the end of this chapter.

C. 

Classification of new and unlisted uses. The intent of this section is to provide a procedure by which uses that are not specifically identified are categorized and treated the same as similar uses. It is anticipated that new land use types may develop and that forms of land use not considered during the preparation of this chapter may seek to locate in the Village. In order to provide for such situations and to integrate such land uses into this chapter, a provision for the determination as to the most appropriate classification for any new or unlisted type of land use is included in this chapter. When an application is made for a use category or use type that is not specifically listed in a table in Appendix A, the procedure set forth below shall be followed.

(1) 

The Building Inspector/Land Use Officer, in consultation with the Village Administrator and the Village Attorney, may provide an interpretation as to the use category into which the new or unlisted type of land use should be placed, if any, taking into consideration, among other things, its potential impacts, including but not limited to the nature of the use and whether it involves dwelling activity; sales; processing; type of product; storage and amount and nature thereof, enclosed or open storage; anticipated employment; transportation requirements; the amount of noise, odor, fumes, dust, toxic material, and vibration likely to be generated; and the general requirements for public utilities such as water and sanitary sewer.

(2) 

Standards for new and unlisted uses should be interpreted as those of a similar use.

(3) 

Appeal of the Land Use Officer's decision shall be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals following procedures under § 300-23B.
