A. Purpose. Chapters 17.08 through 17.18 determine which land uses are allowed in each zoning district established by Section 17.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established), what land use permit is required to establish each use, and the basic development standards that apply to allowed land uses in each zoning district.
B. Determination of Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements. The uses of land allowed by this Zoning Code in each zoning district are identified in Chapters 17.08, 17.12, and 17.16, together with the type of land use permit required for each use.
1. Permit Requirements. Tables 2-2, 2-4, and 2-6 provide for land uses that are:
a. Permitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, subject to first obtaining a zoning clearance (Section 17.42.020), and any building permit or other permit required by the Municipal Code. These are shown as "P" uses in the tables;
b. Allowed subject to the approval of a minor use permit (Chapter 17.42.050), and shown as "MUP" uses in the tables; and
c. Allowed subject to the approval of a conditional use permit (Chapter 17.42.050), and shown as "CUP" uses in the tables.
Where a proposed project includes multiple land uses, and Tables 2-2, 2-4, and 2-6 require different land use permits for some of the uses, the project shall be authorized through the approval of the permit requiring the highest level review. (For example, a structure proposed in the CG district with a bar on the first floor (CUP required) and offices on the second floor (permitted uses) shall be authorized through conditional use permit approval.)
2. Uses Not Listed. Land uses that are not listed in the tables or are not shown in a particular zoning district are not allowed, except as otherwise provided by Section 17.02.020(D) (Rules of Interpretation--Allowable Uses of Land), or Section 17.03.030 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements).
3. Uses Not Permitted In Any Zone. The following uses shall not be allowed in any zone, and no conditional use permit shall issue permitting such use:
a. Medical marijuana dispensaries.
b. Marijuana cultivation.
C. Site Divided by Zoning District Boundary. Where a site is divided by one or more district boundaries, the site shall be developed in compliance with the requirements of each district, as applicable. For example, if a site is zoned both commercial and residential, the portion of the site zoned commercial shall be developed in compliance with the commercial zoning regulations, and the portion zoned residential shall be developed in compliance with the requirements of the applicable residential district.
D. Conflicts Between Provisions. Rules for resolving conflicts between different Zoning Code provisions may be found in 17.02.020(E) (Rules of Interpretation--Conflicting Requirements).
