§
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)

thousand (20,000) square feet shall be entirely exclusive
