Chapter 17A.220
DISTRICT USE CHART

Sections:

17A.220.010    District use chart.

17A.220.010 District use chart.

The following chart indicates uses which are permitted or allowed by conditional use permit. The list is not exhaustive of potential allowed uses nor does the list imply these uses will be approved.

A. Should there be a conflict between the district use chart and the text of the zoning district, the text of zoning district shall take precedence.

B. In the case of similar uses not specifically mentioned by name, the administrator may determine if the proposed use is similar to a use that is listed within this chapter and may therefore be permitted in the same manner as the similar use.

C. Uses that are both specifically defined, and then generally categorized by a similar related use, shall be required to meet the requirement of a specific line item. An example is that a gravel pit may be considered “industrial” but is regulated as a “gravel pit” because it is specifically defined.

D. Each permitted and conditional use identified by this chapter is subject to additional limitations and/or regulations identified within the text of individual zones found in this title.
