Article I. Use Classifications and Table
20.39.010 Use classification.
(1) Classification of Uses.
(a) Organization of Use Tables. The use table in POMC 20.39.040 is organized into principal uses and accessory uses.
(b) Principal Uses.
(i) In order to regulate a variety of similar uses, use categories have been established for principal uses. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning uses to appropriate categories with other, similar uses. Use categories classify principal uses and activities based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics.
(ii) Where a use category contains a list of included uses, the list is to be considered example uses, and not all-inclusive. The director has the responsibility for categorizing all uses.
(iii) The allowed use table in POMC 20.39.040 establishes permitted uses by district. No building or lot may be used except for a purpose permitted in the district in which it is located.
(iv) Use definitions and standards for permitted principal uses are specified beginning in POMC 20.39.100.
(v) More than one principal use may be established on a property or in a structure.
(c) Accessory Uses.
(i) An accessory use is any use that is subordinate in both purpose and size, incidental to and customarily associated with a permitted principal use located on the same lot.
(ii) The allowed use table in POMC 20.39.040 establishes permitted accessory uses by district.
(d) Temporary Uses. A temporary use is a use that is in place for a limited period of time only. All uses shall be treated as permanent principal or accessory uses except where temporary uses are specifically authorized in code such as in the Temporary Uses (Chapter 20.58 POMC), Street Use Permits (Chapter 12.24 POMC), Special Events (Chapter 5.94 POMC), or Fireworks (Chapter 5.60 POMC) chapters.
(e) Principal Uses Not Listed.
(i) A principal use not specifically listed is prohibited unless the director determines the use to be part of the use category as described in this chapter.
(ii) The director is responsible for categorizing all principal uses. If a proposed use is not listed in a use category, but is similar to a listed use, the director may consider the proposed use as part of that category. When determining whether a proposed use is similar to a listed use, the director must consider the criteria in subsection (1)(f) of this section. Determinations whether a proposed principal use is a similar use may be made using the process found in Chapter 20.10 POMC. The director shall determine whether a code interpretation for a proposed principal use shall require a code interpretation pursuant to Chapter 20.10 POMC.
(iii) Where a principal use not listed is found by the director not to be similar to any other use category, the use is only permitted following a code amendment (see Chapter 20.06 POMC).
(f) Criteria for Determining Whether a Proposed Use Is a Similar Use.
(i) The actual or projected characteristics of the proposed use;
(ii) The relative amount of site area or floor area and equipment devoted to the proposed use;
(iii) Relative amounts of sales;
(iv) Relative number of employees;
(v) Hours of operation;
(vi) Building and site arrangement;
(vii) Types of vehicles used and their parking requirements;
(viii) The number of vehicle trips generated;
(ix) How the proposed use is advertised;
(x) The likely impact on surrounding properties; and
(xi) Whether the activity is likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site.
(g) Accessory Uses Not Listed.
(i) An accessory use not listed is prohibited unless the director determines that the accessory use meets the criteria listed in subsection (1)(h) of this section.
(ii) Determinations whether a proposed accessory use is a similar use may be made using the process found in subsection (1)(f) of this section. The director shall determine whether a code interpretation for a proposed accessory use shall require a code interpretation pursuant to Chapter 20.10 POMC.
(iii) Where an accessory use not listed is found by the director not to be similar to any other use category, the use is only permitted following a code amendment (see Chapter 20.06 POMC).
(h) Criteria for Determining Whether a Proposed Accessory Use May Be Permitted. The accessory use may be permitted when the director determines the proposed accessory use:
(i) Is clearly incidental to and customarily found in connection with an allowed principal use;
(ii) Is subordinate to and serving an allowed principal use;
(iii) Is subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the principal use served;
(iv) Contributes to the comfort, convenience or needs of the occupants, business or industry in the principal use served; and
(v) Is located on the same lot as the principal use served. (Ord. 011-19 § 4 (Exh. 1)).
20.39.020 Establishment of uses.
The use of a property is defined by the activity for which the building or lot is intended, designed, occupied, or maintained. All applicable requirements of this title, or other applicable state or federal requirements, shall govern a use located within the Port Orchard incorporated area. (Ord. 011-19 § 4 (Exh. 1)).
20.39.030 Use table key.
(1) Permitted Use (P). Indicates a use is permitted in the respective zoning district. The use is also subject to all other applicable requirements of this code.
(2) Conditional Use (C). Indicates a use may be permitted in the respective zoning district only after a conditional use permit has been issued per Chapter 20.50 POMC. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable requirements of this title, including any applicable use standards, except where the use standards are expressly modified in the conditional use permit.
(3) Use Not Permitted (--). Indicates that a use is not permitted in the respective zoning district. (Ord. 011-19 § 4 (Exh. 1)).
