If a property use is not specifically listed as permitted, what is it considered?

When a property use is not specifically listed as permitted, it is classified as a prohibited use. This classification means that since the use is not mentioned in the zoning regulations or property use guidelines, it is not allowed to be carried out on the property. Zoning laws are designed to maintain order and compatibility among different land uses within a particular area, thereby providing a framework for land development and use. If a proposed use is not included in the list of permitted uses, it cannot be automatically assumed that it is allowed; instead, it falls into the category of prohibited uses. This ensures that landowners and developers are aware of the limitations and requirements placed on their properties.
