- Interpretation by the Zoning Administrator
The Zoning Administrator is responsible for categorizing all uses. If a proposed use is not listed in a use category, but is similar to a listed use, the Zoning Administrator may consider the proposed use part of that use category. When determining whether a proposed use is similar to a listed use, the Zoning Administrator will consider the following criteria:
- The actual or projected characteristics of the proposed use;
- The relative amount of site area or floor area and equipment devoted to the proposed use;
- Relative amounts of sales;
- The customer type;
- The relative number of employees;
- Hours of operation;
- Building and site arrangement;
- Types of vehicles used and their parking demands;
- The number of vehicle trips generated;
- Signs;
- How the proposed use is advertised;
- The likely impact on surrounding properties; and
- Whether the activity is likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site.
- Uses Not Specifically Listed
A use not specifically listed is prohibited unless the Zoning Administrator determines the use to be part of a use category as described in Sec. 6.1.1.A.
- Zoning Administrator Action
Following a determination by the Zoning Administrator, a written record shall be kept by the City (see Sec. 10.2.14.).
