13.2 Uses

Only those uses of land listed under Table 13-1: Permitted and Conditional Uses as permitted uses or conditional uses are allowed within the Suburban Neighborhood Districts. A “P” indicates that a use is permitted within that zoning district. A “C” indicates that a use is a conditional use in that zoning district and would require a conditional use approval as required in Section 4.3 (Conditional Use).
