Zoning Tables
Zoning Tables
Much of the frequently requested information is located in three tables in the printed version of the Forest Park Zoning Code. These tables are Appendix B: Use Status for Specific Zoning Districts, Appendix C: Basic Requirements by Zoning District, and Appendix D: Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements.
Appendix B
Appendix B shows the use status for particular land uses and business types by zoning district for all non-residential districts. Each is use is designated one of the four use classifications:
-
Permitted Uses are not restricted from a given district and require no special provisions but are subject to the required conditions of that district and other general conditions for all districts.
-
Special Exceptions are those uses which would ordinarily not be appropriate in a district without special restrictions. These uses may be permitted by the Planning Commission as provided in the Zoning Code. The control of such uses with a zone is necessary in order to promote and preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
-
Accessory Uses are incidental to a primary permitted use or special exception located on the same lot, and are located in spaces that are integral to the main building.
-
Prohibited Uses are not permitted in a given district.
Important: Where a number occurs rather than a letter or symbol, you need to consult the Endnote Table.
Appendix B Introduction (pp. B4-B6) provides a full explanation of the use status and coding of uses.
The tables in Appendix B have been divided into several PDF files for ease of downloading. These files are:
-

Appendix C

Appendix C is divided into to two files: the table and the endnotes. Important: Where a letter occurs instead of a number or symbol, you need to consult the endnote table.
Appendix D
Appendix D provides the minimum off-street parking requirements and these requirements are applicable to all zoning districts.
