Description Of Uses. This Section contains general descriptions associated
with the use of land and buildings organized by categories and types,
and enabled by zoning districts in Table 405-2. Where a proposed use
is not generally listed or appears to meet the description of more
than one (1) use type, the Director shall make an interpretation on
the most relatively equivalent described use considering: 1) the similarity
of the use in terms of scale, impact and operations to other described
uses; 2) the typical building formats and site designs associated
with the use from existing examples; and 3) the potential contribution
of the use and typical formats to the intent of the zoning district.
Any use that may not be interpreted as relatively equivalent to a
use described in this Section or the Use Table[1] are not anticipated by these regulations and may only
be allowed by a text amendment.

(4) primary or accessory dwelling units in a neighborhood or suburban
setting. Units are arranged to maintain an outward design and appearance

the lot for a principal dwelling. Examples include a garage apartment,
basement apartment or second-level/attic apartment.
A grouping of small-scale apartment buildings in a common
development arranged around an internal system of streets/internal
access, walkways and common open space.
A residential building designed for one (1) primary dwelling
unit in a neighborhood, suburban setting. Variants of this type are
based primarily on lot size and context.
A residential building designed to accommodate two (2) primary
dwelling units in a neighborhood or suburban setting. Duplex units
share a single common wall or floor/ceiling, with an outward design
and appearance as a detached house. A duplex may be on a single lot,
or it may be platted as separate lots along the common wall line subject
to platting restrictions.

level retail, service or employment uses, and where dwelling units
are accommodated on upper stories, or otherwise separated from the
principal commercial function of the building.

to eight (8) dwelling units within an urban and sometimes suburban
context. Row houses abut one another sharing an adjoined party wall.

entry. Units may be on a single lot subject to common ownership restrictions
or platted on separate lots along the common wall subject to platting
restrictions.
A small scale, multi-unit residential building designed on
a small or moderate-sized lot in a compact walkable neighborhood or
mixed-use setting. The building is accessed by a common lobby entrance
at building frontage, and arranged to integrate into the block structure
