The Village’s zoning code includes a wide variety of land uses that are permitted somewhere in the Village. In simple terms, land uses are the “what” in a zoning code.

Land uses can be classified as principal, accessory, and temporary. Principal land uses are the primary uses on the property and, as a general rule, must be in place or under construction before an accessory (i.e., secondary) land use can be established. Accessory uses are typically found with a principal use and are subordinate (e.g., a detached garage or shed is often associated with a single-family house). Temporary land uses are by definition not permanent.

Land uses can be narrowly defined or broadly defined. If broadly defined, a single land use may in fact include a number of discrete uses.

Page Navigation - For the sake of convenience, the principal land uses are further grouped into different categories. You can use the filter to narrow down the list and you can also use the search feature to look for key terms. If you click on the map marker associated with a particular land use, the interactive map will open and display those zoning districts where the land use is allowed (either by right or as a conditional use).

Images - The images displayed in the web version of the zoning code are included to help depict what the particular land use may look like. They are included for informational purposes only.
