17.3.A Permitted and Conditional Uses
Only those uses of land listed under Table 17-1: Permitted and Conditional Uses as permitted uses or conditional uses are allowed within the Central Business 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). No letter (i.e., a blank space) or the absence of the use from the table indicates that use is not permitted within that zoning district.
