§ 6.1. General.

The following limitations and requirements are placed on uses in each district established under the authority of this ordinance, in accordance with the intent of the ordinance.

Any use requiring a building permit is subject to review and permit approval by the building official.

Any special exception is subject to approval of the Board of Adjustment. Each application to the Board of Adjustment for approval of a use permitted by special exception shall be accompanied by a site plan prepared by the applicant or his agent.

In any case where a requested use is not specifically listed in the Table of Permitted Uses section of this ordinance, its status shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment by reference to the most clearly analogous use or uses that are specifically referred to in the Table of Permitted Uses. When the status of a use has been so determined by the Board of Adjustment, such determination shall thereafter have general application to all uses of the same type.

In general, any higher use may be permitted as a Special Exception in a lower use district, but no lower use shall be permitted in a higher use district, except as otherwise noted in the Table of Permitted Uses or where such use exists at the time of enactment of this ordinance, in which case it is subject to the requirements of the Nonconformance section of this ordinance.

Every use in any district, except in the M-1 and M-2 districts, shall be conducted entirely within a completely enclosed structure unless expressly exempted from enclosure requirements in this ordinance by Special Exception or as may be otherwise allowed by this ordinance.

It shall be the responsibility of the owner/developer to show (prove) compliance with the requirements of this ordinance.
