The land use matrix shown in Table 1 establishes the allowable, permitted, accessory, conditional and excluded uses within the City of Pequot Lakes. 2. All uses are considered prohibited unless specifically allowed in this Code, even if they are not listed specifically under excluded uses. 3. All accessory uses require a permit, unless otherwise indicated. Comment. The land use matrix is the single point of inconsistency within the Code in addition to conflicting with the City's Comprehensive Plan. This single point can not be the basis for staff findings of fact as it does not consider the balance of the Code's overwhelming position against this classification. ARTICLE 7.
