Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code tit. III, ch. 743, art. II

in effect

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-201 Permitted uses.

Sec. 743-201. - Permitted uses. A "P" in a cell of the Use Table indicates that the land use is allowed by right in that Primary Zoning District, subject to compliance with the use-specific standards referenced in the final column of the Use Table and with all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. All uses permitted by right in a Primary Zoning District are also permitted as an accessory use in that Primary Zoning District. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including those set forth in Chapter 744 Development Standards. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-202 Special exception uses.

Sec. 743-202. - Special exception uses. An "S" in a cell of the Use Table indicates that the land use is allowed in that Primary Zoning District upon approval of a Special Exception as described in Section 740-705 and compliance with any use-specific standards referenced in the final column of the Use Table and with all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. All land uses that were permitted as a use by right when it was established, but that is listed as an S use in the Zoning Ordinance, shall be deemed to have already obtained special exception approval, and the city will issue the requisite permit at the request of the property owner. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-203 Permitted where vacant.

Sec. 743-203. - Permitted where vacant. A "V" in a cell of the Use Table indicates that the land use may be permitted in that Primary Zoning District upon acknowledgement by the Administrator, provided that it takes place in an existing building that the applicant documents that the building has been vacant for a period of 5 consecutive years and that it complies with any use-specific standards referenced in the final column of Table 743-1: Use Table and with all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. All uses that were permitted by right when the building was established, but that is listed as a "V" use in the Zoning Ordinance will be deemed to have already obtained approval and the City will issue a permit at the request of the property owner. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2; G.O. 37, 2018, § 7)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-204 Accessory uses.

Sec. 743-204. - Accessory uses. An "A" in a cell of the Use Table indicates that the land use is allowed in that Primary Zoning District only if it is incidental and subordinate to a "P" use or an approved "S" or "V" use in that Primary Zoning District, provided that it complies with any use-specific standards referenced in the final column of Table 743-1: Use Table and with all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The Administrator shall determine whether a use is incidental and subordinate based on the amount of pedestrian or vehicle activity related to other uses on the site, the area of the site or building occupied by each use on the site, and the level of impact on surrounding properties generated by each use on the site. In addition, any use listed as a "P" use in a Primary Zoning District may also be conducted as an accessory use in that district. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-205 Temporary uses.

Sec. 743-205. - Temporary uses. A "T" in a cell of the Use Table indicates that the land use is allowed in that Primary Zoning District only at those times or at those periods indicated in the use-specific standards for that use and provided that it complies with any other use-specific standards referenced in the final column of Table 743-1: Use Table and with all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-206 Prohibited uses.

Sec. 743-206. - Prohibited uses. A blank cell in the Use Table indicates that the land use is prohibited in that Primary Zoning District. In addition, any use that is not listed in Table 743-1: Use Table is prohibited in all Primary Zoning Districts, unless the Administrator determines that it is substantially similar to a listed use as described in Section 743-210. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-207 Secondary District provisions govern.

Sec. 743-207. - Secondary District provisions govern. When a property is located within the boundaries of a Secondary Zoning District, the provisions for that Secondary Zoning District prevail over those in the Primary Zoning District. For example, if a use is prohibited in the Primary Zoning District where the property is located, but is a permitted use in a Secondary Zoning District applicable to the same property, then the use is allowed on that property. On the other hand, if a use is listed as a permitted use in the Primary Zoning District but is listed as a special exception use in a Secondary Zoning District applicable to the same property, then the use is a special exception use for that property. If a property is located in more than one Secondary Zoning District, then the most restrictive use provision in those Secondary Zoning Districts shall apply to the property. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-208 Uses restricted to a Special Use District.

Sec. 743-208. - Uses restricted to a Special Use District. The following uses require rezoning to the Special Use District (Section 742-109) shown in the following Table 743-208-1, and may not be interpreted as a permitted or special exception use in any other Primary or Secondary Zoning District. TABLE 743-208-1: USES PROHIBITED IN NON-SU DISTRICTS DISTRICT | USES SU-8 | Correctional or penal institution, diversion center SU-10 | Cemetery SU-13 | Sanitary landfill SU-18 | Light or power station SU-23 | Permanent gravel or sand processing plant, rock crushing, grinding or milling and stockpiling SU-28 | Petroleum refinery and petroleum products storage SU-35 | Telecommunication receiving or broadcasting tower and associated accessory buildings SU-39 | Water tank, water pumping station and similar structures not located on buildings

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-209 Use-specific standards.

Sec. 743-209. - Use-specific standards. When a land use is allowed by right or by special exception in a Zoning District, there may be additional standards that apply to that specific use. Those additional standards are cross-referenced in the last column of the Use Table (use-specific standards). The cross-referenced standards appear in Chapter 743, Article III Use-Specific Standards, immediately following the Use Table. In some cases, accessory and temporary uses are required to comply with the same standards applicable to a similar primary use of land. In other cases, similar primary and accessory uses are subject to different standards. All uses must comply with the use-specific standards applicable to that use category and use regardless of how the use is permitted or approved, unless a variance is obtained pursuant to Chapter 740, Article VIII Improvement Location Permits. All accessory uses must also comply with Section 743-306.A. through C. (G.O. 64, 2015, § 2)

Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 743-210 Unlisted uses.

Sec. 743-210. - Unlisted uses. A. When a proposed land use is not explicitly listed in the Use Table, the Administrator shall determine whether or not it is included in the definition of a listed use or is so consistent with the size, scale, operating characteristics and external impacts of a listed use that it should be treated as the same use. All such interpretations shall be made available to the public and shall be binding on future decisions of the city until the Administrator makes a different interpretation. B. The Administrator may approve accessory uses not listed in the Use Table if the Administrator determines that they are similar in nature to one or more accessory uses listed in the table and will have no more adverse impacts on the surrounding properties than those accessory uses listed in the table.
