§ 731. Land use and land-use sign-related definitions.

Agricultural use: Any parcel where agriculture, farming, or agriculturally related uses (see agritourism, defined in article 2 and section 3-005) constitute the principal use of the property, as interpreted by the director of public development.

Commercial use: A property containing one or two for-profit entities, including but not limited to those uses identified under the "commercial," "construction," "restaurant," "retail trade establishment, enclosed," "recreation," "transportation" and "waste management" categories in table 2-2 "Principal and Accessory Uses Allowed by Zoning District" of this UDC. Any property containing two commercial uses shall be considered a commercial use, not a multi-tenant property. A use categorized as "temporary event," or another use specified in table 2-2 may be interpreted by the director of public development as a commercial use, even if such event or use is on agricultural property or agriculturally zoned property.

Industrial use: A property containing one or two for-profit entities, including but not limited to those uses identified under the "industrial," "warehousing" and "wholesale trade" categories in table 2-2 of this UDC.

Institutional use: Any property containing one or two not-for-profit entities, including but not limited to those uses identified under the "institutional uses" category in table 2-2 of this UDC, including but not limited to churches, hospitals, and professional, civic and charitable organizations. A use listed under the "institutional" or "recreational" categories of table 2-2 that is a for-profit entity shall be considered a commercial use for purposes of this article.

Multi-tenant property: Any parcel designed, occupied, or intended for occupancy for three or more leasable spaces or parcels under one ownership or management. This article distinguishes between multi-tenant properties based on use as follows: residential (a "major" residential subdivision, a multiple-family apartment complex, or a manufactured home park); institutional (e.g., government or nonprofit complex); commercial (an office park with multiple buildings on individual parcels or multiple office buildings on a single parcel, a commercial shopping center, or a single commercial building with three or more leasable spaces); and industrial (industrial park with separate parcels or a single industrial building with three or more leasable spaces).

Residential use: Any parcel with a single dwelling unit or a two-family dwelling unit on it, or any other principal use listed as 'residential and related uses" in table 2-2 of this UDC except those interpreted by the director of public development as a multi-tenant residential or institutional property.

Vacant property: Any property that contains no building or principal use; or a building that contains a building or structure which has not been occupied for six or more consecutive months.
