A land use shown with an "M" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a minor use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this title (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.
3. Conditionally permitted (C). A land use shown with a "C" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a conditional use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this title (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.
4. Not permitted (N). A land use shown with an "N" is not allowed in the applicable zone. Additionally, uses not shown in the table are not permitted, except as otherwise provided in this title.
