§ 5.6. USE CATEGORIES
5.6.1
Applicability
The following use categories are not zoning districts. These categories group uses for regulatory purposes. A use listed below is only permitted in accordance with Chapter 5.0, Permitted Land Uses.
A.
Basis for Classifications
Use categories classify land uses and activities based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics. Characteristics include 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 land uses to appropriate zoning districts.
B.
Approach to Categorizing Uses
The use categories used in Chapter 5.0, Permitted Land Uses, are set forth in 5.6.2 through 5.6.6.
1.
Principal Uses
The "Principal Uses" portion of each use category lists principal uses common to that use category. The names of these sample uses are generic and are based on common meanings, not on what a specific use may call itself.
Example: A use that calls itself "Wholesale Warehouse," but sells mostly to retail consumers, is included in the Retail Sales and Service category rather than the Wholesale Trade category.
2.
Accessory Uses
Accessory uses are allowed by right in conjunction with a principal use as set forth in 5.6.2 through 5.6.6. No accessory use may be established on a site without a principal use. Specific regulations governing accessory uses are set forth 5.4, Accessory Structures and Uses.
C.
Uses Not Included
The "Uses Not Included" provides cross-references to uses that may appear to be part of a particular category, but that are explicitly handled in a different use category.
