* An "Allowed" use does not require a zoning or land use permit, but is still subject to permit requirements of other Yolo County divisions such as Building, Environmental Health, and Public Works.
Note:
(1) The regulation of uses in the OPRD zone may be defined in an overlaying Planned Development Zoning district that is unique to the project. The PD zoning would be inserted in place of these regulations.
(2) Cannabis uses require the issuance of a Use Permit pursuant to the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance in Article 14.
