(a) In general. Table 549-1, Principal Uses in the Downtown Districts, lists all permitted and conditional uses in the downtown districts.

(b)

Permitted uses. Uses specified with a "P" are permitted as of right in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this ordinance. Persons wishing to establish a permitted use shall obtain a zoning certificate for such use as specified in Chapter 525, Administration and Enforcement.

(c)

Conditional uses. Uses specified with a "C" are allowed as a conditional use in the district or districts where designated, provided that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of this ordinance. Persons wishing to establish or expand a conditional use shall obtain a conditional use permit for such use, as specified in Chapter 525, Administration and Enforcement.

(d)

Prohibited uses. Any use not listed as either "P" (permitted) or "C" (conditional) in a particular district or any use not determined by the zoning administrator to be substantially similar to a use listed as permitted or conditional shall be prohibited in that district.

(e)

Specific development standards. Permitted and conditional uses specified with an "✓" under the Specific Development Standards column shall be subject to the specific development standards of Chapter 536, Specific Development Standards.

(f)

General use categories. Table 549-1 employs general use categories for some types of uses. A particular use may be determined to be within a general use category if not listed specifically elsewhere in Table 549-1 and if not determined to be within another general use category. Determination of whether a particular use is included within a general use category shall be made by the zoning administrator in the manner provided for in Chapter 525, Administration and Enforcement, governing determination of substantially similar uses.
