zone in which such building or land is located. .
Sec. 1702. Clarification of ambiguity.
If ambiguity arises concerning the appropriate classification of a par.
~c~lar ~se within the meaning and intent of this ordinanr.e, or, if ambi~itv
exIsts wIth respect 10 mat.ters of height, yard r"'luirements, area requlremenb.
or zone boundaries, as set forth in this ordindance and as they may pertain
to unforseen circumstances, including technological changes in processing of
materials, it shall be .the duty of the. Planning Commission. to ascertain all
.pertinent.facts and by resolution ,of record set forth its findings and its inter.
pretations, and such.rl'SOlution shall be forwarded to the City. Council, and if
approved by the City Council thereafter such interpretation shall govern. .
. For the purpose of arriving at determinations under. this section, or to
meet any other need for classifying any use as first permissible in any of the
zone classifications defined by this ordinance, the degree of compatibility of
any use to any other use shall be evaluated. So far as technical evidence and
scientific means of measurement are available they shall be considered in
determining the form and intensity of performance standards typically ass0c-
iated with any identifiable type of use. The term performance standard, as here
employed refers 10 such conditions, effects or results which flow from the
maintenance. or operation of any primary use including, but not limited to,
the flow of sound measured in decibels; ambient level of sound; vibrations
abovt?' and below thE' auditory range, odors, fumes, smoke or other emissions,
whether toxic or nontoxic; incidence of hazard, including explosion or con-
tamination; the idt"ntification and classification in terms of chemical com-
position of the eomissions from any type of use, whether industrial, commer-
cial or domestic; the traffic.generating capacity, both in terms of freight
and passengers, the volum. of either or both, and the time or times of daily
cycle that reprf"sent pE'ak flow or minimum flow; and the consuming capacity
of and. neoed .for electrical energy, natural gas, oil, water, sewage disposal
and transportation facilitiE"S, hoth highway, water, rail and air.
Sec. 1703. Purpose of precise plan
Whereas. the zoning map.estahlish.s only zone boundaries, and the text
of .thE"' ordinance t"stablisht"s the pl'rmiUt'd use of the land in the various zones
and tht" conditions applicable to such, USl"', a' prl'CiSf: plan, as the term is t"m-
ployod in this ordinanc., has a two. fold purpose: (I) To apply the provisions
and rt'quirf"mrnts of .thE"' ordinance in prf'CiSf' dt"tail by mtans of a map, in-
cluding po.sihl,. streets, alle).s and other puhlic dedicatio"s, .the establishment
of. which would h.. accomplished in the manner otherwis. provided by law;
th.. d.sign and llacem.nt of .....ntial "Iat.d facilities such as off.street park.

latt"d to hOMering traffic flow; plact"mt"llt and arrang..'ment of buildings; and
other subj..ts not includ.d in this ordinance but which are essential to public
safety and genoral w.lfa" ouch are coutrolling the pallern and flow of traffic

Sec. 307. Prezoning of properties outside of city .
The City Council recognizes the fact that a city's social and economic
life is seldom limited to the area within its corporate limits. that real need
exists to consider zoning and physical planning on the basi; of the existing
and develor,ing area rather than only the areas currently within the city limits;
th~t State aw, through the medium of the State Planning Law, recognizes the
eXlstanCt: of the relationship between a city and the areas adjacent thereto and
ha. incorporated in such State Planning Law a mandate that cities .haII
preplan areas contiguous thereto if, in the opinion of the city, such areas
bear a relationship to its planning. In recognition af such policy and purpose
and the possibility of annexation of adjoining lands, the city underblkes to

The foregoing regulations pertaining to the several zones shall be. sub-
ject to the general provisions, conditions and. exceptions contained in this
article.
Sec. 1901. Nonconforming use limits other uses
While a nonconforming use exists on any lot, no additional use may be
established thereon, even though such additional use would be a conforming
use, unless: \ 1) The use of a nonconforming use of a conforminl!; building and
such use has had a terminating date established by actior of record by the .
Planning CommiSSJon; or, (2) The nonconforming use be a building or a

:onforming use .
If any nonconforming building is removed, every future use of the land
,n which the building is located shall conform to the provisions of this ordin-
mce. If a nonconforming use vacates and is succeeded by another and more

volved shall be abated within one year from the' date this ordinance becomes

ordinance takes eftect is thereafter discontinued for six (6) months or more,
any further use of such land shall conform to the provisions of thia ordinance.
