Sections:
17.40.010 - Purpose. ¶
The purpose of the Residential Land Use Table is to designate the residential uses permitted within each zone, subject to the development standards for such uses set forth in the articles describing those zones.
(Ord. 319 § 1(part), 1987)
(Ord. No. 476, § 2, 8-22-2016)
17.40.020 - Table 1—Permitted uses. ¶
To determine in which zone a specific use is allowed:
A.
Find the use in the left hand column.
B.
Read across the table until either a "letter" or an "x" appears in one of the columns.
C.
If a letter appears this means that the use is allowed in the zone represented by that column, but only if certain conditions are complied with. The conditions applicable to that use are those corresponding to the letter listed in Section 17.40.030.
D.
If an "x" appears to a column the use is allowed in the zone represented by that column without being subject to any of the conditions listed in Section 17.40.030.
E.
If neither a "letter" nor an "x" appears in a column, the use is not allowed in the zone represented by that column.
F.
The planning commission shall interpret the appropriate zone for any land use not specifically listed in the table, the finding shall be based on consistency with the purpose of the zone and that the use is of the same general character as that of the uses permitted in that zone.
G.
Overlay zones are not included in the table.
