16.01.030 Comprehensive Plan designation and zone classifications.

For cities other than Salem, the zoning administrator shall decide which of the following zones implement the applicable plan designation on the basis of the intent in the applicable comprehensive plan. The zone classifications below are listed in order of most restrictive to least restrictive under the appropriate plan designation. Following are the zones allowed in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan designations:
