[Amended 5-7-2015, effective 6-1-2015]
In a General Industrial Zone a special permit, issued by the
Zoning Commission based on conformance with the criteria defined in
this chapter, is required in order to construct a building or buildings
for the uses listed below. After a certificate of occupancy is issued
for the building in conformance with the approved site plan, any change
in use allowed in the General Industrial Zone may be allowed in the
structure, except as defined below by asterisks, as long as the parking
requirements, sanitation requirements, and building and fire code
requirements, etc., can be met and the exterior site plan is not changed.
Such changes in use need approval from the Zoning Enforcement Official
(ZEO). In the event the ZEO determines that the applicable requirements,
regulations or other issues within the jurisdiction of the Zoning
Commission are not satisfied by the change in use, the only appeal
of that determination shall be via application for a special permit
for such change in use.
