2.1.200 Permitted and Conditional Uses.
This section is included in your selections.
This section was recently amended by Ordinance NS-2487, codified in January 2024.

A. Permitted Uses. The land uses listed in Table 2.1.200 are permitted in the Residential Districts, subject to the provisions of this chapter. Only land uses that are specifically listed in Table 2.1.200, land uses that are incidental and subordinate to a permitted use and land uses that are approved as “similar” to those in Table 2.1.200 may be permitted. The land uses identified with a “C” in Table 2.1.200 require conditional use permit approval prior to development, in accordance with BDC Chapter 4.4, Conditional Use Permits.

B. Determination of Similar Land Use. Similar use determinations must be made in conformance with the procedures in BDC 4.1.1400, Declaratory Ruling.

C. Exceptions. Existing uses and buildings lawfully established under previously effective land use regulations are allowed to continue subject to BDC Chapter 5.2, except as otherwise specified in this section.

1. Existing dwelling units that were lawfully established in their current location are treated as permitted uses in the residential zones unless originally approved through a conditional use permit, in which case they must remain subject to any applicable conditions of approval. Such uses are not subject to BDC Chapter 5.2 unless otherwise nonconforming.

D. Conversions.

1. Duplex. Conversion of an existing single-unit detached dwelling to a duplex is allowed; provided, that the conversion does not increase nonconformance.

2. Triplex and Quadplex. Conversion of an existing single-unit detached dwelling or duplex to a triplex or quadplex is allowed; provided, that the conversion does not increase nonconformance.
