Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- DU table row is "Lodging—Bed & breakfast (B&B)".
- Not covered here: TOD Specific Plan sub-districts DG, DD, DX, DR, DT, DC: Section 88.24.005 A.6 sends readers to the TOD Specific Plan.; Neighborhood zone codes: the table prints NG1/NG2/NG3 over L/MED/MOD; the zone codes NG1-L etc. are joined by the reviewer (the code text does not print the hyphenated form).. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
