§ 5-3-15 LAND USE REGULATIONS (ZONING MATRIX).

   (A)   Range of uses. Uses within the city shall be consistent with the land use/zoning matrix contained in the tables of this section.

      1.   Permitted uses:. Permitted uses are indicated on the land use/zoning matrix by the letter “P” in the box defined by a use and zone designation. These uses are allowed in the districts indicated without discretionary review, subject to determination of compliance with the development, parking, landscaping and other standards of the zoning ordinance by the city.

      2.   Conditional uses. Conditional uses are indicated on the land use/zoning matrix by the letter “C” in the box defined by a use and zone designation. Conditional uses may be permitted subject to obtaining a use permit from the Planning Commission or Planning Director, as regulated elsewhere in this title. For commercial cannabis uses, the letter “C” in the box defined by a use and zone designation indicates the requirement of a cannabis permit, as required under § 5-5-14 of this title.

      3.   Accessory uses. Accessory uses are secondary to a primary or principal use on a site. Accessory uses are permitted in all zoning districts.

      4.   Prohibited uses. A blank space in a box on the land use/zoning matrix indicates that the use is prohibited. Any private drilling operations including, but not limited to, oil, water, mineral and metal are prohibited. Also, any cannabis or medical cannabis dispensary is prohibited, as well as any other commercial cannabis activity, except as specifically established in this title.

   (B)   Uses not listed. The land use/zoning matrix is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all possible uses, but rather identifies the more common uses likely to be proposed in the city. Uses not specifically covered by any use category, but which appear to be similar in nature to permitted or conditional uses, shall be reviewed by the Planning Director, who shall determine the use classification based upon activity characteristics of the proposed use. The Planning Director may also consult with the Planning Commission in determining if a proposed use is a permitted activity. A proposed use shall otherwise be considered a prohibited use where it is not provided for within a district.

   (C)   Land use/zoning matrix.
