City of Lake Saint Louis, MO: Use Determination And Unlisted Uses.

[Ord. No. 4190, 2-1-2021]

Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, lists the principal uses allowed within each base zoning district. Listed uses are defined in Section 410.100, Use Categories and Use Types.

Approval of a use listed in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, and compliance with applicable use-specific standards for that use, authorizes that use only. Development or use of a property for any other use not specifically allowed in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, and approved under the appropriate process, is prohibited.

Section 420.010 Use Categories And Use Types.

[Ord. No. 4190, 2-1-2021]

In Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, land uses are classified by general use categories and specific use types based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics, such as the type and intensity of activity, the type of customers or residents, operation requirements, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and typical site conditions.

This classification provides a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts.

This classification does not list every use or activity that may appropriately exist within the categories.

Certain uses may be listed in one category when they may reasonably have been listed in one (1) or more other categories.

The use categories are an indexing tool and are not regulatory.

Section 420.020 Explanation Of Use Permissions.

[Ord. No. 4190, 2-1-2021]

Permitted Use.

A "P" designation in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, indicates that the use is allowed by right in the respective zoning district. Permitted uses are approved administratively by the Community Development Director.

Special Use.

An "S" designation in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, indicates that the use is allowed in the respective zoning district only with approval of a special use permit (Section 405.170).

Prohibited Use.

A blank cell in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, indicates that the use is prohibited in the respective zoning district.

Use-Specific Standards.

Regardless of whether or not a use is allowed by right or with approval of a special use permit, additional standards may be applicable to that use. Such use-specific standards are identified and cross-referenced in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, and contained in Article III, Use-Specific Standards.

Number Of Principal Structures Or Uses Per Lot.

A development, structure, or lot may include multiple principal uses, including a combination of residential and nonresidential uses, provided that each use is either a permitted use or a special use in that zoning district, that a special use permit is obtained for any special use, and all use-specific standards applicable to each use are met.

Multiple principal structures may be permitted on a single lot, excluding detached houses, if each structure and site development complies with this Code.

Section 420.030 Use Determination And Unlisted Uses.

[Ord. No. 4190, 2-1-2021]

Determination Of Appropriate Use Category And Use Type.

The Community Development Director shall make the determination if a proposed use is a permitted use, a special use, or a prohibited use.

When a proposed land use is not listed in Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, the use is prohibited unless the Community Development Director determines that the use is reasonably comparable to a use that is already listed.

In making such determination, the Community Development Director may consider information on the use available from third-party land use resources, such as the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

The Community Development Director shall also determine whether or not additional use-specific standards are necessary to reduce potential impacts to the surrounding properties or the community.

Notice Of Determination.

The Community Development Director shall send a written notification of the use category and use type determination to the applicant.

The use determination shall become effective immediately.

Post-Determination Actions.

Appeals of the Community Development Director's determination shall be made following the procedures under Section 405.240, Appeal of Administrative Enforcement.

If the determination of an appropriate use category and use type results in a finding that the use will be a common use or would create confusion by remaining unlisted, the Community Development Director may initiate an application for a text amendment (Section 405.090) to revise Table 420.040, Table of Allowed Uses, accordingly.

Until final action is taken on the text amendment application, the use determination by the Community Development Director shall be binding.
