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 “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).
