GENERAL PROVISIONS AND EXCEPTIONS
General
Except as hereinafter provided, no building shall be erected,
reconstructed or structurally altered nor shall any building or
land be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the zone
in which such building or land is located. If any "use" is for
any reason omitted from the lists of those specified as permissible
in each of the various zones herein designated, or if ambiguity
arises concerning the approximate classification of a particular
use within the meaning and intent of this ordinance, it shall be
the duty of the City Planning Commission to ascertain all
pertinent facts concerning said use and by resolution of record
set forth its findings and the reasons for designating a specific
classification for each use and such findings and resolutions
shall be referred to the City Council and, if approved by the
City Council, thereafter such designated classification shall
govern.
Where property classified for "C" uses has a depth of
one hundred and twenty (120) feet or less, as measured at approx-
imate right angles from the street frontage indicated as business
frontage, additional adjoining property may be used for nCrr
purposes when such adjoining property fronts upon the side street
and the side of such adjoining property abuts upon the property
classified for "C" purposes, and provided that such additional
property be utilized only in connection with and as a part of
the development of "C" use on the property classified therefor;
that such additional property be not greater than sixty (60)
feet in width measured along the side street, and provided
further that no entrance be established or used upon such
additional property, and provided further that if the property
classified for "C" use has a depth of sixty (60) feet or less
measured as provided above, then the additional property
-29-
permitted to be used in connection therewith in the manner above
defined may not exceed one hundred (100) feet additional, and no
entrance shall be established and maintained upon the fifty (50)
feet farthest removed from the "C" classified corner created by
the intersecting street.
When areas of unsubdivided acreage are shown upon the
Zoning Map enclosed within a double line circle, the areas thus
shown are intended to approximate the location of commercial
centers to be later classified as such concurrently with the
designing of the property for such purposes at the time of the
subdividing thereof.
Parking Space
Every main building hereafter erected or structurally
altered shall be provided with minimum off - street parking accomo-
dations as follows:
a. For Dwellings there shall be at least one parking
space in a building on the same lot with the
main building for each dwelling unit and such
parking space shall be not less than eight (8)
feet wide by eighteen (18) feet long, with
adequate provision for ingress and egress.
b. For Buildings other than Dwellings there shall
be at least one parking space of two hundred and
fifty (250) square feet on the same lot with the

at least one (1) parking space for every ten
(10) seats provided in said buildings.

on the rear half of the lot shall assume the status of a non - conforming
use as defined herein.

provided for the consideration of variances and provided
that such time shall in no case be less than ten (10)
years following the approval of such date by the City

pose of the City Planning Commission and the City Council
to determine as near as may be the reasonable unamortized

not less than two and one -half (2?) per centum per annum
of the original cost shall be made in determing the date
by which said non - conforming building shall be removed or
altered and converted to a conforming status.
4. That, subject to all other regulations of this Section,
a building destroyed to the extent of not more than seventy-
five (75) per cent of its reasonable value by fire,
explosion or other casualty or Act of God, or the public
enemy, may be restored and the occupancy or use of such
building or part thereof which existed at the time of
such partial destruction, may be continued.

more than three (3) years therefrom, provided:

car sales areas" herein permitted shall be improved as
follows;
