9.08.010 Land use restriction.¶
No structure, or any part thereof, shall be erected or enlarged, nor shall any site or structure be used, designated, or intended to be used for any purpose or in any manner other than is included among the uses listed in the land use tables in this chapter as permitted, administratively permitted, or conditionally permitted in the zoning district in which such structure, land, or site is located, except as otherwise authorized by this title.
9.08.020 Residential land use table.¶
A. Table 9.08.020-1 identifies which land uses are permitted by right, require a use permit, or are not allowed in the R-E, R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones. B. A “P” means that the use is permitted by right in that zone. A “C” means the use requires a conditional use permit in that zone. An “A” means the use requires an administrative use permit in that zone. A “T” means the use requires a temporary use permit in that zone. A blank box means the use is not allowed in that zone. C. Establishment of a use, even if permitted by right, may require the issuance of a site plan review permit in accordance with Chapter 9.72, or other applicable entitlements in accordance with Chapter 9.70. D. Land uses are grouped generally by type of use and then listed alphabetically. The land use groups are Residential Uses, Accessory and Support Uses, and Other Uses. Use of the word “or” can mean either or both uses. E. Land uses with specific land use standards shall meet the requirements found in the identified section in the last column of the table. F. If two or more land uses are permitted in the same zone, those land uses may coexist on the same site.
