§ 21.39.010. Intent and purpose. ¶

The intent and purpose of the L-C zone is to provide an interim zone for areas where planning for future land uses has not been completed or plans of development have not been formalized. After proper planning or plan approval has been completed, property zone L-C may be rezoned in accord with this title.

In an L-C zone, notwithstanding any other provision of this title, only the uses listed in Table A, below, shall be permitted subject to the requirements and development standards specified in this chapter, and subject to the provisions of Chapter 21.44 of this title governing off-street parking requirements.
B. A use similar to those listed in Table A may be permitted if the City Planner determines such similar use falls within the intent and purposes of this zone, and is substantially similar to the specified permitted uses.
C. A use category may be general in nature, where more than one particular use fits into the general category (ex. in some commercial zones "office" is a general use category that applies to various office uses). However, if a particular use is permitted by conditional use permit in another zone, the use shall not be permitted in this limited control zone (even under a general use category) unless it is specifically listed in Table A of this chapter as permitted.
