Wasco Municipal Code Ch. 17.22 Allowable Uses and Development Standards

Sections: 17.22.010 Establishment of an allowable use. 17.22.020 Intensity of development. 17.22.030 Uses not listed. 17.22.040 Similar uses allowed. 17.22.050 Agriculture, open space and public facility zone uses. 17.22.055 Agriculture, open space and public facility zone development standards. 17.22.060 Residential zone uses. 17.22.065 Residential zone development standards. 17.22.070 Commercial and industrial zone uses. 17.22.075 Commercial and industrial zone development standards.

Any one or more land uses identified by Tables 2-1, 2-3 and 2-6 as being allowable within a specific zoning district may be established on any parcel within that zoning district, subject to the planning permit requirement listed in the tables, and in compliance with all applicable requirements of this land use code.

Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables at the same time, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by the tables for any individual use. For example, a new multi-use building proposed with a permitted use on the second floor and a use requiring use permit approval on the ground floor would require use permit approval for the entire project. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).

In order to achieve the development objectives of the general plan and provide a range of housing development opportunities within the city, the intensity of development in any residential zoning district, measured by dwelling units per acre, shall fall within the density range designated within the land use element of the general plan (LU Element Table 3.1) for the various residential land use classifications. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).

A land use that is not listed in Table 2-1, 2-3 or 2-6 is not allowed within the city, except as otherwise provided in Section 17.22.040. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).

The planning director may determine that a proposed use not listed in this chapter is allowable as follows:

A. Required Findings. The planning director may determine that a proposed use is similar to, and compatible with a listed use and may be allowed, only after first making all of the following findings:

1. The characteristics of, and activities associated with the use are similar to one or more of the listed uses in the zoning district where the use is proposed, and will not involve greater impacts than the uses listed in the district;

2. The use will be consistent with the purposes of the applicable zoning district;

3. The use will be consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan;

4. The use will be compatible with the other uses allowed in the district; and

5. The use is not listed as allowable in another zoning district.

A determination that a use qualifies as a “similar use” and the findings supporting the determination shall be in writing.

B. Applicable Standards and Permit Requirements. When the planning director determines that a proposed but unlisted use is similar to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where it is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this land use code apply.

C. The formal process to make a similar use determination is provided in Section 17.52.030, Determination of Similar Use. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).

A. The land uses allowed in each zoning district are listed in Table 2-1, together with the type of planning permit required for each use.

B. Allowable uses for each zone are established by letter designations as follows:

1. “P” represents permitted (allowed) uses;

2. “C” designates uses that are allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP);

3. “T” designates uses that require the approval of a temporary use permit (TUP); and

4. “---” designates uses that are not permitted in the zone.
