1Description
Accessory uses are uses that are on the same lot as the principle use and are subordinate, incidental to and customarily found in connection with the principal use. Accessory uses can be left undefined beyond “customary incidental and subordinate”, or permitted and prohibited uses can be listed, or allowed by special permit.
2Purpose
To provide some flexibility in use of property.
3Issues
The flexibility provided here can be abused to over-expand the intensity of use or establish an inappropriate use. It may be difficult to enforce accessory use regulations against educational or religious institutions.
4Advantages
Provides flexibility of use of the property and can help create complete mixed use neighborhoods. By enabling mixed-use, can reduce traffic related to commuting.
