3.02. Classification of New and Unlisted Uses
It is recognized that new types of land use will develop and forms of land use not anticipated may seek to locate in the City. In order to provide for such changes and contingencies, a determination as to the appropriate classification of any new or unlisted use shall be made as follows:

A. Director of Planning and Development Classification as a Similar Use
The new or unlisted use will be referred to the Director of Planning and Development to determine whether the use should be classified as a similar existing use.

B. Zoning Text Amendment for New or Unlisted Use
If the Director of Planning and Development is unable to classify the new or unlisted use as similar to an existing use, the use shall be processed as a zoning text amendment, which requires a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval from the City Commission to amend the Permitted Use Chart.

C. Factors for Consideration
The determination shall be based on findings in relation to the nature of the use and whether it involves dwelling activity, sales, processing, type of product, storage and amount and nature thereof, enclosed or open storage, anticipated employment, transportation requirements, amount of noise, odor, fumes, light, dust, toxic material and vibration likely to be generated and the general requirements for public utilities.
