No land shall be used and no structure shall be erected or used
except as set forth in the following Table of Use Regulations, including

Applicability. When an activity might be classified under more
than one of the following uses, the more specific classification shall
govern; if equally specific, the more restrictive shall govern.
3.1.3.
Major nonresidential use. Notwithstanding the entries in the
Table of Use Regulations for a specific nonresidential use in Subsections
C to J, inclusive, a major nonresidential use shall require a special
permit from the Planning Board; provided, however, that an urban renewal
use shall be exempt from this requirement. For example, a business
or professional office in the BC District shall be allowed as of right
as long as it does not exceed 9,999 gross square feet in floor area;
thereafter, the use shall be classified as a major nonresidential
use and shall require a special permit from the Planning Board. The
special permit requirement for a major nonresidential use shall supersede
the requirement for site plan review set forth in Section 9.5; it
shall not supersede the requirement of a variance, when applicable.
