specifically listed as an authorized use in the zoning district shall
not be permitted in that zoning district.
B. In the C-1, C-2 and I-1 Districts, any use not specifically listed in the authorized uses for the zoning district shall not be permitted in that zoning district, unless such use is authorized as a conditional use in accordance with the applicable express standards and criteria for "comparable uses not specifically listed" in §

dwellings are an authorized use or are a legally nonconforming use,
the single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling shall be the only
principal structure on the lot, except in an approved planned residential
development, where single-family dwellings or two-family dwellings
may be authorized on the same lot with other single-family dwellings
or two-family dwellings.
D. In the zoning districts where such uses are authorized by this chapter,
two or more multifamily or nonresidential buildings may occupy the

the possibility of subdivision of the property in the future to separate
the buildings.

occupy the same building, provided that all applicable area and bulk
regulations and parking requirements for each of the uses can be met
on the lot.

on the same lot with the principal structure to which they are accessory.
Any accessory structure shall not be built unless or until the principal

point of access on a current or anticipated collector street.
