313-156 Definitions (U)
Urban Limit Line: Generally found in the Coastal Land Use Plans, these are a delineation of lands where urban use types, densities, and intensities of development may be permitted. (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
Use: The purpose or activity for which land, a building, or a structure is occupied, arranged, designed, or intended, or for which it is or may be occupied or maintained. Uses are generally segregated into the following types: (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
a.Accessory: A use legally permitted in the zone, which use is customary and incidental to and subordinate to the principal use of the site or of a main building on the site and serving a purpose which does not change the character of the principal use. (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
b.Conditional: A use type subject to a Use Permit, which use may be essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare in one or more zones, but which may also impair the integrity and character of the zone or adjoining zone, or be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare unless additional restrictions on location and extent of use are imposed and enforced. Such use shall be permitted when all specific additional restrictions are completed and permanently satisfied in conformance with an approved Use Permit. Should such restrictions be of a continuing nature, the use will remain conditional so long as the restrictions are complied with, but shall become an illegal use whenever and so long as the restrictions are not complied with. (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
c.Nonconforming: A use, which was lawfully established or maintained, but which, because of the application of these regulations to it, no longer conforms to the specific regulations applicable to the zone in which it is located. (See Section 313-131, Nonconforming Uses, and Section 313-132, Nonconforming Structures.) (Former Section CZ#A312-21, CZ#A312-23)
d.Principal Permitted: The specific and primary use of land or of a main building which use is compatible with the purpose of the zone and which is permitted in the zone. If a use is listed in a specific zone as a principal permitted use, it means that the owner, lessee or other person who has legal right to use the land, has a right to conduct such principal permitted use subject to the procedural requirements of Chapter 2, of these Regulations. (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
Use Type: A category or class of land uses which share common functional, product or compatibility characteristics and which have been classified under a discreet use type in these regulations. The Use Types for each zone district are listed in Section A: “Regulations for Zoning Districts.” Use Types are defined and described in Section D: Use Types. (Former Section CZ#A312-23)
Useable Open Space: (See, Open Space, Useable)
Used: Includes “arranged for,” “designed for,” “occupied,” or “intended to be occupied for.” (Former Section CZ#A312-2)
Utilities: (See, Civic Use Types, including, e.g.: Extensive Impact Uses; Electrical Distribution Lines, Major; Generation and Distribution Facilities, Minor; Oil and Gas Pipelines; and/or Utilities, Minor; in Section D: Use Types.) (Also see, definition of “Public Utility.”)
