A.
Purpose and intent. It is the purpose and intent of this section to list those uses which are specifically allowed or specifically prohibited in the various zoning districts listed in Article II of this chapter. Any use not listed herein is prohibited. See § 190-15, Table of Use Regulations, Table 1.

Table of use regulations. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no building, structure or land shall be used except as permitted in the Table of Use Regulations, Table 1, whether by right or by special permit.
C.
Uses subject to other regulations. Uses permitted by right or by special permit shall be subject, in addition to use regulations, to all other provisions of this chapter.
D.
Applicability. Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of this section shall apply to the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration or use of buildings or structures or use of land. Except as otherwise provided, any existing nonconforming use, structure or lot shall not become further nonconforming.
E.
Existing buildings and land. This section shall not apply to an existing building or structure, nor to the existing use of any building, structure or land, to the extent to which it is legally used at the time of adoption of this chapter, but it shall apply to any change of use thereof and to:
(1)
Any alteration of a building or structure when the same would amount to reconstruction, extension or structural change.
(2)
Any alteration of a building or structure to provide for its use for a purpose or in a manner substantially different from the use to which it was put before alteration or for its use for the same purpose to a substantially greater extent.
F.
Mixed uses. In cases of mixed occupancy, the regulation for each use shall apply to the portion of the building or land so used. Combinations of permitted uses within a single building are permitted, provided that health and safety regulations are followed. Proposed new buildings that mix residential and nonresidential uses are allowed by right within a Creative Development Overlay District under the provisions of § 190-52, Creative Development, require a special permit from the Planning Board under § 190-60 if within a Mixed Use Overlay District; and in all other cases require a special permit from the Board of Appeals.
