Section 8.06
Since every type of potential use cannot be addressed in this Ordinance, each district provides for similar uses, referencing this Section. All applications for a use not specifically addressed in any zoning district shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review and decision, based on the following standards:
A finding is made that the proposed use is not listed as a named permitted or special land use in any zoning district.
If the use is not addressed in this Ordinance, the Zoning Administrator may attempt to select a named use listed in this Ordinance which most closely resembles the proposed use. Such named use shall be determined using criteria such as potential impact on property values, nature of use, traffic generated, aesthetics, noise, vibration, dust, smoke, odor, glare, and other objectionable impacts on the health, safety, and welfare in the Village.
If a use is determined to be similar to a named use, the proposed use shall comply with any special land use standards or other Ordinance requirements that apply to the named use. Where the Zoning Administrator determines a proposed use is not similar to any named use addressed in this Ordinance, the applicant may petition for an amendment to this Ordinance.
The determination as to whether a proposed use is similar in nature and class to another named permitted or special land use within a district shall be considered as an interpretation of the use regulations, and not as a use variance. Any use determined by the Zoning Administrator to be similar shall thereafter be deemed to be included in the enumeration of the uses permitted.
