(A) The uses identified in table 11-1.41.A specify those uses which are permissible within each commercial district.

All uses listed shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building unless otherwise specifically provided for in this chapter. The letters and symbols in the columns beneath the district designations mean the following:

• "—" means the use is not permitted.

• "P" means the use is permitted by-right as a principal use within the district.

• "C" means the use is conditionally permitted if a conditional use permit is approved by the planning commission.

• "M" means the use is conditionally permitted if a minor conditional use permit is approved by the community and economic development director.

Table 11-1.41.A: Permitted Uses In Commercial Zones

(Ord. No. 863, § 3(D), 10-3-24; Ord. No. 870U, § 5(Exh. A), 3-18-25; Ord. No. 871, § 5(Exh. A), 4-1-25)

(A) This section is designed to allow the city flexibility to address changing market needs and to adapt to new and unique land uses that are not anticipated in the current title. This adaptability ensures that the city can responsibly evolve and accommodate diverse development types, fostering dynamic growth within the community. The community and economic development director has the authority to decide whether unlisted uses may be allowed by right or require a conditional use permit or minor conditional use permit unless explicitly permitted or not permitted. When evaluating proposals for land uses not listed in table 11-1.41.A, the community and economic development director will consider whether:

(1) The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan;

(2) The proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it is located;

(3) The proposed use is similar to other uses permitted within the same district; and

(4) The proposed use will not adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of residents or other persons in the vicinity.

(B) Any determination on a proposed unlisted use may be referred to the planning commission for review if the community and economic development director determines on a case-by-case basis that commission review would better serve the public interest.

(C) Recordation. Determinations on unlisted land uses shall be recorded in writing. The record of interpretations shall be kept on file in the planning division and shall be available to the public upon request. Unlisted use determinations will be forwarded in accordance with the procedures for zoning amendments included in section 11-1.70.05, zoning amendments, of this title, for consideration of incorporation into the zoning ordinance, at such time as is deemed appropriate by the community and economic development director.
