18.05.010 Interpretation of land use matrix.

A. The land use matrix in this chapter identifies uses permitted in each individual zoning district. The zoning district is located on the vertical column and the use is located on the horizontal row of this matrix.

B. If the box at the intersection of the column and the row is empty, the use is not permitted in that district unless it is customarily incidental and accessory to a primary permitted or conditional use as determined by the administrator.

C. If the letter “P” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is permitted in that district as a primary use.

D. If the letter “C” appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use is conditionally permitted subject to the conditional use permit review procedures and criteria set forth in Chapter 18.38 EMC.

E. If a footnote appears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the use may be permitted subject to the appropriate review process indicated above and the specific conditions indicated by the corresponding footnote.

F. All applicable requirements shall govern a use whether or not they are cross-referenced in the matrix. To determine whether a particular use is allowed in a particular zoning district and location, all relevant regulations must also be consulted in addition to this matrix.

G. Unlisted uses shall be reviewed and meet the requirements of the listed use which most closely matches their characteristics. In considering whether an unlisted use has similar characteristics to a listed use, the administrator shall consider traffic generation rates, parking needs, dust, noise, smell, hours of operation, and nature of the on-site operations. (Ord. 2533 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013).
