153661v1 12 Use, accessory, means a use subordinate to the principal use on a lot and exclusively used for purposes incidental to those of the principal use. Use, conditional, means those occupations, vocations, skills, arts, businesses, professions or uses specifically designated in each zoning use district which, for their respective conduct, exercise or performance in such designated use districts, may require reasonable but special, peculiar, unusual or extraordinary limitations, facilities, or regulations in such use district for the promotion or preservation of the general public welfare, health, convenience or safety in such use and in the city and, therefore, may be permitted in such use district only by a conditional use permit, which is designed to meet the problem that arises where certain uses, although generally compatible with the basic use classification of a particular zone, should not be permitted to be located as a matter of right in every area included within the zone because of hazards inherent in the use itself or special problems which its proposed location may represent. Use, permitted, means a use which may be lawfully established in a particular district, provided it conforms with all requirements, regulations and performance standards (if any) of such districts. Use, principal, means the main use of land or buildings as distinguished from subordinate or accessory uses. A principal use may be either permitted or conditional. Wholesale greenhouse means an area, building or structure used for the storage, cultivation or transplantation of live trees, shrubs or plants that are not offered for retail sales on the premises. Yard means a required open space on a lot, which is unoccupied and unobstructed by a structure from its lowest ground level to the sky except as expressly permitted in this chapter. A yard shall extend along a lot line and at right angles to such lot line to a depth or width specified in the yard regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Yard, front, means a yard extending across the front of a lot between the side yard lines and lying between the front street line of the lot and the required front yard setback line, which front yard shall be provided on both street frontages of corner lots and double-frontage lots. A lakeshore lot shall not be considered as having a front yard, but rather shall be considered as having a lakeshore yard on one side of the building and a rear yard on the other side of the building. Yard, lakeshore, means a yard lying between the natural ordinary high water mark on the lakeshore and the required lakeshore setback line, for the full width of the lot. Yard, rear, means a yard lying between the required rear yard setback line and rear line of the lot, for the full width of the lot. On a lakeshore lot, the rear yard shall be the yard which fronts on the street lying between the street line of the lot and the required rear yard setback line. Yard requirements means those requirements which relate exclusively to the size of yard areas when such are required within specific zoning districts.
