The Zoning District Map of the Town of Basin is hereby adopted
as the official Zoning District Map and is located at the Town Hall
offices.
The Zoning District Map may be amended from time to time by
ordinance and in compliance with any other applicable local or state
laws.
The locations and boundaries of the aforesaid districts are
hereby established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning District Map,"
which map accompanies and is hereby declared to be a part of this
title.
(Ord. 685, 11-12-2020)
A.
Regardless
of the existence of purported copies of the official Zoning Map, which
may from time to time be made and published, the official Zoning Map,
adopted by ordinance and updated by ordinance from time to time, shall
be the final authority as the current zoning status of land within
the Town of Basin.
B.
Appeals:
Appeals concerning the exact location of a zoning district boundary
line shall be determined by the Town of Basin Council.
(Ord. 685, 11-12-2020)
Allowed, conditional, and interim uses are enumerated by each
zoning district according to the land use regulation matrix, as amended
by resolution. Allowed, conditional, and interim uses shall meet the
required criteria of the zoning district.
Building and/or land use permits are required unless specifically
exempted or allowed without a permit. There shall be erected or placed
no more than one principal use or structure on any lot in a residential,
mixed residential or rural residential district. In all other districts
a second principal use or structure may be approved via conditional
or interim use permit.
Whenever an application proposes a use not identified by this
Code as either a allowed, conditional or interim use, the Town Council,
after review by the Planning Commission, shall issue a statement of
clarification, finding that the use is either substantially similar
in character and impact to a use identified as either allowed, allowed
conditional or interim within the particular district, or that the
use is not sufficiently similar to another use listed within the district.
Such statement of clarification shall include the findings that led
to such conclusion.
If the proposed use is not sufficiently similar to a use regulated
as either allowed interim, or conditional use in the specific district,
the use shall be prohibited. If an enumerated use in the land use
regulation matrix is not specifically identified as allowed, allowed,
conditional, or interim, then such use shall be deemed prohibited
in the corresponding zoning district.
(Ord. 685, 11-12-2020)
A land use matrix shall be adopted and amended by resolution
to reflect allowed, conditional and interim uses by zoning district.
