General districts are residential, commercial, light industrial, historic, and agricultural zoning districts in the City. This Article VIII outlines the intended purpose of each general district and states the permitted, special and conditional uses for each district.
A.
Permitted use defined. A permitted use is a use which is listed as
permitted by right in a zoning district. Nonspecified uses which are
similar to those specified are also permitted by right, except as
otherwise restricted within this chapter.
B.
Conditional use defined. A conditional use is a use that is considered compatible to a permitted use and is described as conditional in specific zones. A conditional use permit requires review and approval by the Commission to determine if the use is desirable or essential to the public welfare, safety, health, morals or convenience of the residents in that zone. The City may impose standards for development of conditional uses to ensure the uses will not adversely affect the public or surrounding property owners. See § 250-5.2 for procedures governing conditional use permits.
C.
Special use defined. A special use is a use which is of an unusual or unique character and which may be offensive or incompatible in some cases within a zoning district. A special use requires review and approval by the City Council, after recommendation by the Commission, to determine impacts on the surrounding area. The City may impose standards for development of special uses to ensure the uses will not adversely affect the public or surrounding property owners. See § 250-5.5 for procedures governing special use permits.
