Use code

[Ord. No. 08-31, 10-7-2009]

The Use Regulations in Table 1 are designed to regulate land uses in the various zoning districts in the Town. Each use group is identified by a use code number and is a separate use. The use code is a classification system designed to limit and aid in the interpretation of the use regulations. The code number in the use regulations corresponds to a more detailed listing of uses in Appendix A. The uses are listed by category, with individual code numbers which also correspond to a more detailed listing in Appendix A. Where a use is not specifically listed in Table 1, such use is a prohibited use in the Town of Cumberland. When a use code is ambiguous or subject to interpretation, the zoning enforcement officer shall, (pursuant to G.L. § 45-24-54) upon written request, provide written information to the requesting party as to the determination that the use is included within the appropriate use code number in Appendix A within 15 days of the written request. In the event that no response is provided within such time, or if the requesting party believes the zoning enforcement officer has made an error of law, the requesting party shall have the right to appeal to the zoning board of appeals for such determination.
