4.16 "FH" FLOOD HAZARD DISTRICT .............................................4

3.1 OFFICIAL SCHEDULE OF USES

Primary and accessory uses are permitted or prohibited in the zoning districts established by or under Chapter 4: Zoning Districts, and as shown in Appendix A: Schedule of Uses. Appendix A shall be the determining factor as to whether or not a specific use is permitted, prohibited, or requires a special exception use in each of the zoning districts established by this Ordinance.

3.2 PERMITTED USES

A. Permitted uses are those uses which are allowed without special permission of the Board of Zoning Appeals, given that they follow the provisions set forth in this

Ordinance. No land or building shall be devoted to any use other than those listed as permitted uses for the subject district with the exception of:

1. Uses lawfully established prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.

2. Special exception uses as provided below.

B. In any district, no more than one (1) principal structure and its customary accessory uses shall be located on a single lot; except that primary structures designed and platted as a single development under single ownership and control, such as a multi-family residential project, business shopping center, or combined industrial operations, may be permissible on a single lot under the terms of this Ordinance.

3.3 SPECIAL EXCEPTION USES

A. Special Exception Uses are those uses that, because of potential incompatibility and negative impact on the immediate neighborhood, require a greater degree of scrutiny and review of site characteristics and impacts to determine their suitability in a given location. Therefore, the determination of Special

Exception Uses as appropriate shall be contingent on their meeting the standards inclusive in Chapter 11, the provisions of their respective zoning districts, and the weighing, in each case, of the public benefit and need against the local impact.
