Chino Hills Municipal Code Appendix A Appendices (CA)

REGULATION OF USES BY ZONING DISTRICT

The following land use matrix provides a listing of those land uses which are permitted by right, are permitted as an Accessory Use, are subject to Conditional Use Permit review, are subject to Temporary Use Permit review, are subject to Minor Use Permit review, and prohibited within each of the City's zoning districts, with the exception of the Planned Development (PD) zoning district. Each PD zoning district may establish its own unique land use regulations regarding uses permitted by right, permitted accessory uses, and conditionally permitted uses in the final development plan.

The following symbols are used to describe the relationship of the listed uses to each zoning district:

"P"	The use is permitted by right.
"C"	The use requires a Conditional Use Permit, subject to the specific requirements contained in Chapter 16.68 .
"A"	The use is permitted as an accessory use only, subject to specific conditions outlined in the Development Code.
"T"	The use is permitted only as a temporary use, subject to the specific requirements contained in Chapter 16.40 .
"M"	The use requires approval of a Minor Use Permit, subject to the specific requirements contained in Chapter 16.78 .

Uses not shown as Permitted, Accessory, Conditionally Permitted, requiring a Minor Use Permit or Temporary Use Permit are prohibited in the zoning district, unless the Community Development Director (Director) makes a determination pursuant to Section 16.79.015(C) that a proposed use, while not listed in the following table, closely corresponds to a listed use which is permitted by right or which is permitted subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit, a Minor Use Permit or Temporary Use Permit.
