contingent use

Read a random definition: duty-bound

A quick definition of contingent use:

Contingent use means a way of using something that depends on certain conditions being met. For example, a building may be used as a dance club only if the city approves it. It is a type of use that is not permanent or guaranteed, but rather subject to specific requirements. Other types of use include accessory use, which is a use that is related to the main use of a property, and nonconforming use, which is a use that was allowed before zoning restrictions were put in place.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A use of property that is dependent on or pertains to a main use.

Example: In zoning, a conditional use is a type of contingent use. For example, a city may allow a property to be used as a daycare center, but only if certain conditions are met, such as having a certain number of staff members and meeting safety requirements. This use is contingent on meeting those conditions.

Explanation: A contingent use is a use of property that is related to a main use, but is subject to certain conditions or limitations. In the example given, the main use is a daycare center, and the contingent use is the ability to operate that center only if certain conditions are met. This term is often used in zoning and land use planning to regulate how property can be used in a particular area.
