A. 
Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to allow flexibility of land use consistent with the specific district regulations set forth herein and the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, most nonresidential uses are allowed only upon the granting of special permits and/or a site plan approval permit. It is the responsibility of the Town Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals and/or Planning Board, as the case may be, to attach such reasonable conditions as may be necessary to ensure that a proposed use will be compatible with its surroundings, with the purposes of this chapter contained in Article I and with the Comprehensive Plan. Such boards shall deny any proposed use which they find will not or cannot be operated in a manner that satisfies the criteria in this chapter.
B. 
Use restrictions and use table. No structure or land shall be used except as provided under the individual use designations established hereinafter under the various district classifications and overlay district classifications (and as set forth in the Use Table at the end of this chapter). In the event that a particular proposed use does not fit into one of the categories set forth in this chapter, such use shall be prohibited and shall require a use variance and site plan approval as may be applicable.
C. 
Accessory uses. Uses customarily incidental and clearly subordinate to principal uses as provided in this chapter shall be allowed on the same terms as the principal uses except as otherwise indicated in this chapter.
D. 
Mixed uses. The Town of Cazenovia permits the mixing of uses where such mixing does not create land use conflicts. Mixed use shall be allowed subject to the special use permit and site plan approval requirements for each particular district or overlay district. However, under no circumstances may three or more separate uses be granted as a mixed use.
E. 
Change of use. A special use permit shall apply only to the use for which it has been granted. A new special use permit is required for any subsequent change of use where a change of use is permitted.
F. 
One principal use and structure per lot. No lot may contain more than one principal use and structure with appurtenant accessory use or uses and structure as may be provided for that particular district unless a mixed use is granted under this chapter.
