(a) 
A Land Use Classification system is utilized to group primary land uses into categories. The land use types contained within each use classification groups various land use activities into categories according to their common performance characteristics. These characteristics relate land uses by the type of commodity sold, scope of service provided, method of operation, or extent of environmental impact.
(b) 
Accessory uses are classified in Chapter 5 of this division.
(c) 
The Planning Agency shall develop and maintain an alphabetical listing of typical land uses allowed within each land use classification type. This administrative listing shall clarify the various land use classifications and may be updated periodically to reflect additional uses. The listed uses shall be considered as “typical” and in no way reflect an absolute list of the land uses allowed by the land use classification category.

The typical land use listed is accepted as meeting the land use type category.
