ARTICLE 8 CLASSIFICATION OF NEW AND UNLISTED USES
It is recognized that new types of land use will develop and forms of land use not anticipated
may seek to locate in the City of Denton. In order to provide for such changes and contingert-
' cies, a determination as to the appropriate classification of any new or unlisted form of land
use shall be made as follows:
A. The Building Inspector shall refer the question concerning any new or unlisted use to the
1 Plarming and Zoning Commission requesting an interpretation as to the zoning classifica-
tion Into which such use should be placed. The referral of the use interpretation ques-
tion shall be accompanied by a statement of facts listing the nature of the use and whether
It involves dwelling activity, sales, processing, type of product, storage, and amount
and nature thereof enclosed or open storage, anticipated employment, transportation
requirements, the amount of noise, odor, fumes, dust, toxic material and vibration likely
to be generated and the general requirements for public utilities such as water and sani-
tary sewer.
' B. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the nature and described perfonna.ice
of the proposed use and its compatibility with the uses permitted In the various district:;
and determine the zoning district or districts within which such use should be permitted.
C. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit Its findings and recommendations to
' the City Council as to the classification proposed for any new or unlisted use. The
City Council shalt by resolution approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission or make such determination concerning the classification of such use as is
determined appropriate based upon its findings.
