Simple English definitions for legal terms
A quick definition of accessory use:
An accessory use is something that depends on or is related to the main use of something else. For example, a garage is an accessory use to a house. It's not the main part of the house, but it's related to it and used for a similar purpose. Other types of uses include
regular use, which is something that is normal or usual, and
nonconforming use, which is something that is not allowed under current rules but was allowed before the rules were put in place.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A use that is dependent on or pertains to a main use.
Example: A restaurant that also has a small gift shop selling souvenirs related to the restaurant's theme.
Explanation: In this example, the main use is the restaurant, and the gift shop is an accessory use. The gift shop is dependent on the restaurant's main use, as it sells souvenirs related to the restaurant's theme.
