Those uses not listed as permitted or conditionally permitted are not authorized. The question whether a specific use is encompassed by a listed use shall be subject to th!

Further, when, as a result of subsequent changes in technology, business practice, or lifestyle, a use has not been mentioned in this Zoning Code, the Zoning Administrator or designee may permit such use if it is clear that the use is comparable to listed uses for a particular zoning district. Alternatively, the Zoning Administrator or designee may refer such proposed use to the Board of Adjustment for review as a conditional use. Any other use not listed may only be permitted upon amendment of this Zoning Code to include such use in the appropriate zoning district."</SPAN></DIV>

My three posts per day are up. Nighty-night, Muscovites! If any of you would like to read my copious (and entirely negative) ruminations on the city of New Orleans, I invite you to visit <A href="http://www.newwest.net">www.newwest.net</A> and follow the link in the Northern Idaho section down on the left-hand side of the page. The piece is called "New Orleans: The City that Chlorox Forgot." Oh, and there's also a piece up there about wee Nate's complaint against the Food Co-Op. That one's called "Twilight Zoning: Moscow Pastor's Minions Play Tit for Tat." Have fun -- I did! </SPAN></DIV>
