This article shall be known as the "use types." The purpose of the use types is to establish a classification system for land uses and a consistent set of terms defining uses permitted or conditionally permitted within various zoning districts. The use types article also provides a procedure for determining the applicable use type of any activity not clearly within any defined use type.
A. 
Classification of uses. In the event of any question as to the appropriate use type of any existing or proposed use or activity, the Planning Director of the City of Papillion shall have the authority to determine the appropriate use type. A determination of the Planning Director may be appealed to the Board of Adjustment. In making such determinations, the Planning Director and Board of Adjustment shall consider such characteristics or specific requirements of the use in common with those included as examples of use types. Those examples, when included in use type descriptions, are intended to be illustrative, as opposed to exclusive lists.
B. 
Records. The Planning Director shall make all such determinations of appropriate use types, in writing. The record of the determination shall contain a report explaining the reasons for the determination.

Livestock and poultry shall include any animals or fowl that are used primarily for use as food or food products for human consumption or for laboratory or testing purposes. A CAFO does not include areas which are used for the raising of crops or other vegetation and upon which livestock are allowed to graze or feed.
