VOTE: 1]IrANIAlOUS ~4. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDAiENTS a. Regulation of Principal Uses (1) Article 22 - Definitions (Principal Uses) (2) Article fi.3 - Regulation of Principal Uses In summary this item was presented to recei~-e citizen comment on the proposed amendments to the definitia,YS pertaining to uses, structures and buildings, and regulations pertaining to use of non-residential zoning lots. As presently worded, Article 6.2 states "Except as permitted as part of a Planned De~~elopment, there shall be only one principle structure permitted per non-residential zoning lat." A principle building is currently defined as "?. building, or where the context so indicates, a group of buildings in which is conducted the main or principle use of the lot an which said building is situated." It has historicallz= been the interpretation of the Plannin; Department that more than one building may be permitted on a non-residential zoning lot without appravaT as a Planned Development, if all buildings are an integral component of a single principle use. The phrase "as the context so indicates has been interpreted to refer to the context of the particular project. This interpretation has been questioned bz= the County Attorney, as being in conflict with the requirement in article 6.3 that there be onlt= one principle structure per non-residential zoning lot, except as permitted as part of a Planned Development. b.
