A. Permitted Uses. Table 20.20-1 identifies the permitted uses within all commercial and industrial zones.

B. Conditional Uses. Certain uses may be subject to special conditions regarding the location, operation, design, or special permitting requirements of the use. References to these provisions are made in Table 20.20-1.

C. Prohibited Uses. If a use is not specifically listed in Table 20.20-1, that use is prohibited.

1. No drop hammers or automatic screw machines.
