(A) This chapter shall apply, to the extent permitted by state and federal law, to all property within the municipal boundaries of the City of San Joaquin, including all uses, structures, and land owned by any person, firm, corporation, or organization. Any governmental agency shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter only to the extent that such property may not be lawfully regulated by the city. City government uses, including, without limitation, fire stations, police stations, and public safety facilities, may be permitted in any district subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
(B) No land shall be used, and no structure shall be constructed, occupied, enlarged, altered, demolished, or moved in any zoning district, except in accordance with the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance. Specific uses of land, buildings, and structures listed as prohibited in any zoning district are hereby declared to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. The enumeration of prohibited uses shall not by implication enlarge the scope of permitted uses; they are for purposes of clarity only. A proposed use type within a zoning district must be listed as a permitted use type or similar to the listed use type per the applicable zoning district or determined to be such through the determination of the City Manager or designee, in order to be authorized under the Zoning Ordinance.
(C) If conflicts occur between requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of this code, or other plans and policies adopted by the city, the Zoning Ordinance shall prevail; excepting the San Joaquin General Plan, which prevails over this chapter.
