Chapter 17.65 — LAND USE REGULATIONS

Prior to the establishment of any land use(s) identified in the land use permissions tables, the applicant shall obtain all necessary approvals and permits pursuant to all applicable requirements of this Title. Division 2 (Review Procedures) of this Title identifies the requirements of project proposals and procedures and processing requirements for administrative and discretionary applications.

• (A) Use Classifications. Each land use classification is described in PMC Chapter 17.16 (Definitions). For example, personal service use includes a wide range of individual personal service uses (e.g., beauty parlor, dry cleaning, tanning salons, tailors). Use classifications describe one or more uses having similar characteristics but do not list every use or activity that may be appropriate within the classification. For that reason, the City has established a similar use determination process as described in PMC § 17.24.040 (Determination on unlisted uses).

• (B) Projects of Two or More Land Uses. Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the permissions tables at the same time, the overall project will be subject to the highest level of review required by the tables for any individual use; however, all applicable fees shall be paid, and individual applications submitted for each applicable application type.

• (C) Allowed Uses and Approval Types. Generally, a use is either allowed by right, allowed through an approval process, or not allowed. In addition to the requirements for planning entitlements of this Title, other permits may be required prior to establishment of the use (e.g., building permit, engineering permit, or permits required by other agencies). The requirements for planning entitlements include:

  • (1) Permitted (P). A land use shown with a "P" indicates that the land use is allowed by right in the designated zone, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Title (e.g., development standards) as well as State and Federal law.

  • (2) Accessory Use (A). A land use shown with an "A" indicates that the land use is allowed only as a secondary use in conjunction with a primary use, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Title (e.g., development standards) as well as State and Federal law.

  • (3) Minor Use Permit (MUP) Required. A land use shown with "MUP" indicates that the land use is allowed in the designated zone upon issuance of a minor use permit from the designated Review Authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Title (e.g., development standards), as well as State and Federal law.

  • (4) Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Required. A land use shown with "CUP" indicates that the land use is allowed in the designated zone upon issuance of a conditional use permit from the designated Review Authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Title (e.g., development standards) as well as State and Federal law.

  • (5) Not Permitted (–). A land use shown with a "–" is not allowed in the applicable zone.

§ 17.65.020

• (6) Temporary Use (T). On occasion, property will be used for an event, activity, or use on a short-term basis. Such use is considered a temporary use. A land use shown with "T" indicates that the land use is allowed by right as a temporary use, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Title (e.g., development standards) as well as State and Federal law.

• (7) Temporary Use Permit Required (TUP). On occasion, property will be used for an event, activity, or use on a short-term basis. Such use is considered a temporary use. A land use shown with "TUP" indicates that the land use is allowed as a temporary use in conjunction with the issuance of a temporary use permit pursuant to PMC § 17.26.100 (Temporary use and special event permits). PMC § 17.98.020 (Temporary uses) provides the regulations for these uses, including development standards and time limits.

• (Ord. 1603 § 4 (Exh. I), 2023)

The land use permissions, as established in Table 17.65.020-1 (Allowed Uses – Industrial Zones), shall be applicable to all new uses, structures, and activities within the identified zone. Allowed land uses include both primary and accessory uses that are predominately permanent in nature. For regulations on all temporary uses and events, see PMC § 17.26.100 (Temporary use and special event permits). Numeric notes can be found at the end of the table.

In addition to the regulations of the applicable zone, all land uses are subject to the special use standards identified in the "Specific Use Regulations" column of the allowed use tables. Refer to the referenced Sections for additional operational standards and regulations applicable to the use.
