included in this repeal and replacement include: added, amended or deleted certain zoning definitions;
amended text for consistency with State Statute; removed two infrequently used zoning districts; adjusted the
setback and land use tables to accommodate the new zoning districts; amended the process for home
occupations and for constructing an accessory building prior to building a house from a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to an Interim Use Permit (IUP); amended some standards for home occupations including in -home
beauty salons/barber shops; removed some sections from Title 12 and moved them to Title 4; removed Chapter
