§159.0305 Accessory Uses

An accessory use is intended to serve only the occupants of the principal permitted uses on the premises and not the general public. It shall be permitted only if it complies with all of the following requirements: (a) Accessory uses shall be limited to those uses which are customary, incidental to, related to and clearly subordinate to a permitted principal use established on the same premises. In Zones 5 and 6, accessory uses are limited to those uses listed in Appendix E. (b) The combined gross floor area of all accessory uses on any premises shall occupy not more than 20 percent of the gross floor area occupied by the principal permitted uses. (c) All accessory uses shall be located in the same building or buildings which they serve with the exception of loading areas or refuse collection areas. There shall be no entrance to any accessory use except through a foyer, lobby, fully enclosed court or a similar interior area. (d) In Zones 5 and 6, no signs, displays or advertising relating to the accessory uses shall be visible from any street.
