16.301.01 - Land use regulations.

Table 16.301-A: Land Use Regulations, prescribes the land use regulations for all the zoning districts.

In cases where a specific land use or activity is not defined, the director shall assign the land use or activity to a classification that is substantially similar in character. Use classifications and sub-classifications not listed in the table or not found to be substantially similar to the uses below are prohibited. Chapter numbers in the right-hand column refer to regulations in other parts of the Zoning Code.

A. WMX Exceptions. Land uses in the WMX district must comply with Table 3 of the Waterfront and Vallejo Station Planned Development Master Plan (PDMP). Waterfront planned development master plan supersedes these regulations in the event of a conflict unless preempted by state requirements.

B. By-Right Multifamily Residential on Certain 6th Cycle Housing Element Inventory Sites. To implement Housing Element Programs A 1.1.6 and A 1.1.7, on Housing Inventory Sites #41 (APN 0052110140), #42 (APN 0051250230), and #55 (APN 0069032240), multifamily residential uses shall be permitted by right (without discretionary action) for housing developments with at least 20 percent of units as affordable to lower-income households. These projects shall be exempt from CEQA and processed by right under Government Code Section 65583.2(i), requiring only design review based on objective standards.

C. Applicability of All Other Standards: In addition to the standards identified for the uses in this part, each building or site shall still be subject to all other standards of this code including, but not limited to Part II (16.200), District and Development Types and Part V (16.500), Site Development Standards.
