The general requirements affecting the use of buildings, structures and land for each of the districts established by Article II are hereby established and set forth in this article.
The accompanying table entitled "Table of General Use Requirements" shall be deemed part of this chapter and is referred to herein as the "Use Table."[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Table of General Use Requirements is included at the end of this chapter.
A. 
The Use Table is divided into columns, with each column headed by a capital letter for reference. Horizontal lines divide the requirements for one district from those of another.
B. 
In the Use Table, the words "same as," followed by the symbol of the district or districts, shall be construed to include all of the matter set forth in the same column for the district or districts thus referred to, thereby incorporating such matter by reference.
C. 
In the Use Table, all uses listed in Column B are permitted by right and subject to the bulk and supplemental requirements as applicable. All uses listed in Column C are permitted only upon approval of the Planning Board and are conditional thereon pursuant to § 274-a of the Town Law. All uses listed in Column D are special permit uses, permitted on approval of the Town Board in accordance with Article XVIII, as the case may be. All special permit uses and conditional uses also require site development plan approval by the Planning Board in accordance with Article X.
[Amended 3-13-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2001]
D. 
The uses identified in Columns B, C and D are followed by a letter designating a use group for reference to the Table of Bulk Requirements.[1] Certain uses do not have respective bulk requirements, and the requirements pertaining to the principal use shall apply.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Table of Bulk Requirements is included at the end of this chapter.
E. 
Uses carried through from one district to another are cited "same as ..." followed by the district from which carried through and a number or numbers referring to the particular use as identified in the district. Additionally, as an aid to cross-reference, a brief description or identification of the referenced use is enclosed in parentheses following the numerical reference; however, such reference shall be deemed to incorporate all matter pertaining to the subject use. Where a use group is not identified in the Use Table, the use group for the same use in the previously cited district or districts shall apply.
F. 
Any use not identified in the Use Table shall be deemed prohibited. Any use indicated as conditional shall be deemed prohibited unless approved in a manner specified by this chapter. Where conditional uses are identified by generic word or description, the Planning Board shall determine whether a specific use shall be construed to be part of such generic class. In making such determination, the Planning Board shall consider to what extent the proposed use is like, in land use impacts, the class of use indicated in the Use Table.
The uses which are listed in this section are prohibited in the Town, subject to the qualifications set forth in § 215-9D.
