22-10 - USE ALLOWANCES

LAST AMENDED
6/6/2024

The provisions of Sections 22-11 (Use Group I – Agriculture and Open Uses) through 22-18 (Use Group VIII – Recreation,
Entertainment and Assembly Spaces) establish #use# allowances by Use Group. A brief statement is inserted at the start of each
Section to describe and clarify the basic characteristics of that Use Group. For Use Groups I through IV, #use# allowances by
zoning district are summarized in Use Group tables. For each #use# and zoning district, the tables contain up to two levels of
notation in a particular cell:

(a)    The top level will always contain a symbol and denotes:

       (1)    permitted as-of-right (“●”);

       (2)    permitted as-of-right in some instances, but with broad #use# limitations on as-of-right applicability, either by
              district or geographic restrictions (“♦”);

       (3)    allowed by special permit (“○”) of the Board of Standards and Appeals or the City Planning Commission; or

       (4)    not permitted in the district (“–”).

(b)    The second level may or may not be present, depending on the #use# and the zoning district. Where present, the table
       denotes one or more allowances or restrictions on the as-of-right #use#. Specifically, they denote where the following
       apply:

       (1)    size restrictions (“S”), including establishment or #lot area# size limitations or person capacities; or

       (2)    additional conditions (“P”), including environmental standards or other measures other than size restrictions.
Such notations are illustrated in the following diagram:




Where a #use# is permitted and no second level symbology is included, the #use# is permitted without size restrictions,
additional conditions, or exemptions from enclosure requirements.

Use Group tables, except in Section 22-12 (Use Group II – Residences), also show the parking requirement category, denoted as
“PRC”, for the applicable #use#, where applicable. PRC letters A through G refer to the classification of permitted non-
residential #uses# to determine required accessory off-street parking spaces as set forth in the table in Section 25-31 (General
Provisions). Subcategories within, denoted by number suffices, indicate variations of the same parking category. Where the
PRC for a #use# is denoted as “N/A”, no parking requirement applies except as specified in other provisions of this Resolution.

Subsections following the table for a particular Use Group contain specific provisions applicable to certain #uses#, including size
restrictions or additional conditions. Other subsections contain references for #uses# permitted by special permits of the Board
of Standards and Appeals or the City Planning Commission, or provisions for #uses# where two PRCs are assigned.

The following diagram provides an illustrative example of how such provisions are notated across zoning districts for a given
#use#:
