§ 174-6. Applicability.

No land in any district shall hereafter be used or occupied and no building or structure shall hereafter be occupied, used or erected or the use of buildings and land altered except as set forth in the following Schedule of Use Regulations or as specifically regulated or provided otherwise under other sections hereof, provided that the accessory uses and buildings not enumerated in the schedule but necessarily or customarily incidental to a principal use, including the signs otherwise allowed, shall be deemed to fall into the same category as such principal use. Streets and easements for public services are a permitted use in all districts, except the Wetland and Floodplain Districts.

§ 174-7. Conflict of classifications.

Where an activity may be classified under more than one (1) use listed in the Schedule of Use Regulations, the more specific classification shall apply, and if equally specific, the more restrictive classification shall govern.

§ 174-8. Schedule of Use Regulations

A. No building or structure shall be constructed and no building, structure or land or part thereof shall be used for any purpose or in any manner other than for one (1) or more of the uses hereinafter set forth as permitted in the district in which such building, structure or land is located or set forth as permissible by special permit in said district and so authorized.

B. Further, no building shall be constructed and no building, structure or land or any part thereof shall be used and no lot shall be changed in size or shape unless in conformity with the regulations set forth for each district.

C. The following notes apply to all districts:

(1) All uses and buildings for which off-street parking is required, other than one- and two-family dwellings, shall be subject to the site plan review and approval by the Planning Board, as provided in § 174-10.

(2) Not more than one (1) principal permitted use shall be located on any lot, provided that a multiple occupancy building used for the same category of use, such as retail sales and services, light manufacturing or offices in a business district or Industrial Park District shall be deemed to be in a single principal permitted use. The Board of Appeals may, by special permit, allow several different uses if otherwise permitted in the district or several buildings on the same lot if such uses or buildings are deemed to be compatible, meet the requirements of § 174-9 and result in improved circulation and land use patterns.

(3) For uses subject to a special permit, refer also to § 174-9, Special permit requirements.

(4) (Reserved)

(5) Any lot created after April 8, 1996, in any zoning district except the BV Business Village District shall contain a minimum lot area of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet exclusive of wetlands as defined in the Wetlands Protection Act, MGL C. 131, § 40. Lots created under the Major Residential Development Bylaw (§ 174-13.2) flexible development provision that are less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet shall be entirely exclusive of wetlands.
