Notes:

  • The original table header "P = Use is Permitted by Right, C = Use Requires Conditional Use Permit, A = Use Requires Administrative Use Permit, T = Use Requires Temporary Use Permit, Blank = Use is Not Allowed" is preserved as a legend above the table for clarity, though it was part of the original table header block.
  • The row labels A1, A2, etc., are preserved as the first column of each row.
  • The table structure has been reconstructed with columns for Land Uses, Commercial Zones (C-1 through C-4), Industrial, Public, and Open Space Zones (M-1, M-2, PF, PR, A), and Specific Land Use Standards.
  • The row for A4 is left blank because the original text cut off; no content has been invented.

§ 10.08.040 Addition of a use to land use tables.#

Upon an application or on its own initiative and pursuant to Chapter 10.86, the City Council may add a use to the land use tables established in this chapter if the Council makes all the following findings:

(A) That the addition of the use to the land use table will be in accordance with the purposes of this title and of the zone district or districts in which the use will be permitted.

(B) That the zone district or districts in which the use is to be permitted has similar basic characteristics as the present uses allowed in the district or districts.

(C) That the use will not generate a noticeably greater amount of odor, dirt, smoke, noise, vibration, illumination, glare, unsightliness, or any other objectionable influence or hazard than the amount normally created by any of the other uses permitted in the district or districts in which the use will be permitted.

(D) That the establishment of the use in the zone district or districts in which it will be permitted will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare.
