General provisions

161 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.

Unnumbered paragraph before Section 20.90.1902 standards

In a residential district, no conditional use permit shall be issued for a parking facility intended to serve non-residential uses, unless all of the following conditions are met: ... The minimum rear and interior lot side setbacks are ten (10) feet.
