A. A person may apply to the commission for an interpretation of this title as it applies to particular persons or property. In response to such an application, the commission shall adopt an interpretation that carries out the purposes of this title.

B. The planner may determine whether a particular structure, or use of land or a structure, that is not listed as a permitted use in a zoning district, is permitted in that zoning district, under the following standards. If a structure, or use of land or a structure, is listed as permitted in another zoning district, it is not permitted except in the zoning district or districts for which it is listed as permitted. Subject to the preceding sentence, a structure, or use of land or a structure, that is not listed as permitted in a zoning district may be permitted if the planner determines that it is similar in character and effect on nearby properties, public facilities and the comprehensive plan as structures, or uses of land or structures, that are expressly permitted in the zoning district.
