§9170.8 DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE USE

Ukiah Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-07 · Ukiah

Whenever a use is not listed in this Article as a use permitted by right or a use subject to a use permit in the PF Zoning District, the Planning Director shall determine whether the use is appropriate for the Zoning District, either as a right or subject to a use permit. In making this determination, the Planning Director shall find as follows:

  • A. That the use would not be incompatible with other existing or allowed uses in the PF Zoning District.

  • B. That the use would not be detrimental to the continuing development of the area in which the use would be located.

C. In the case of determining that a use not articulated as an allowed or permitted use could be established with the securing of a use permit, the Planning Director shall find that the proposed use is similar in nature and intensity to the uses listed as permitted uses. All determinations of the Planning Director regarding whether a use can be allowed or permitted in the Public Facilities (PF) Zoning District shall be final unless a written appeal to the City Council, stating the reasons for the appeal, and the appeal fee, if any, established from time to time by City Council resolution, is filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the date the decision was made. Appeals may be filed by an applicant or any interested party. The City Council shall conduct a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal in accordance to the applicable procedures as set forth in this Chapter. At the close of the public hearing, the City Council may affirm, reverse, revise or modify the appealed decision of the Planning Director. All City Council decisions on appeals of the Planning Director’s actions are final for the City. (Ord. 1009, §1, adopted 1998)
