(B) The Planning Director will have the authority to interpret the use provisions applicable to each zone district, using the zone district descriptions contained in Chapters 16.07 through 16.33 (Zoning Districts, Land Use Regulations and Development Standards) of this Title 16. In the event that a specific use or type of use is not listed, the Director will have the authority to determine which listed use is most similar to the proposed use and thereby determine whether the use is permitted, permitted subject to Conditional Use Permit review and approval, permitted as a temporary use, or prohibited. In determining "similarity," the Director will make all of the following findings:
(1) The proposed use must meet the intent of, and be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the general plan;
(2) The proposed use must meet the stated purpose and general intent of the district in which the use is proposed to be located;
(3) The proposed use must not adversely impact the public health, safety and general welfare of the city's resident; and
(4) The proposed use must share characteristics common with, and not be of greater intensity, density or generate more environmental impact, than those uses listed in the permitted uses section.
(C) Any applicant, interested person, or public official may appeal any decision of the Planning Director to the Planning Commission in accord with the procedures set forth in Chapter 16.206 (Appeals and Revocations) of this Title 16.
