15.205.010 Establishment of Uses/Interpretation of Land Use Chart

A.    The use of a property means the purpose or activity for which the building or lot is intended, designed, arranged, occupied or maintained. All applicable requirements of this code, or other applicable State or Federal requirements, shall govern a use located in the City of SeaTac, except within the areas delineated as overlay districts, in which case the land use charts contained within Chapters 15.300 SMC, City Center Overlay District, 15.305 SMC, South 154th Street Station Area Overlay District, and 15.310, Angle Lake Station Area Overlay District, shall apply.

B.    The land use charts in this chapter and other chapters in this code determine whether a specific use is permitted in a zone classification. (Ord. 16-1009 § 9; Ord. 15-1018 § 1)

15.205.020 Classification of Unlisted Uses and Clarification

A.    In creating use charts, the City has considered the characteristics of uses which make them comparable, compatible or similar to each other. The City recognizes that it is not possible to enumerate and classify every use to which land may be devoted, either now or in the future, and that ambiguity may exist with reference to the appropriate and consistent use definition and applicable standards. Therefore:

1.    When any known and identifiable use is not listed as a permissible use in any classification; or

2.    When any use has now come into existence by reason of any technical development in the trades, sciences and equipment; or

3.    When any use already listed in the use charts which, because of any process, equipment or materials used, possesses different performance standards than those which are usually associated with the uses in the classification as presently classified and which, therefore, makes it reasonable that such a use should be placed in the more restrictive classification, it shall be the responsibility and duty of the Department to ascertain all pertinent facts relating to any such use and make what it deems to be the appropriate process on a case-by-case basis for locating the use in the compatible zone classification.

B.    Based on the above situations, the Director shall review the findings of facts and conclusions, and issue a decision of one (1) of the following actions:

1.    Approve or deny the use as a similar and compatible use for that zone classification;

2.    Require approval or denial through the conditional use process; or

3.    Begin the process for review of an amendment to the land use charts.

C.    The purpose of the review shall be to determine that the characteristics of any such use shall not be unreasonably incompatible with the type of uses permitted in surrounding areas, and for the further purpose of determining the need for stipulating such conditions that would mitigate potential impacts and reasonably assure that the basic purpose of this code shall be served.

D.    Any administrative decision issued by the Director can be appealed to the City Hearing Examiner, as stated in SMC 15.115.070, Appeal Process.

E.    On an annual basis, the Director shall review and bring forward any recommended revisions or interpretations for uses to the Planning Commission. Additionally, every five (5) years, the Director shall present a comprehensive review of the code to the Planning Commission for consideration of necessary revisions due to lack of specificity or ambiguity in the adopted standards and their impacts. (Ord. 15-1018 § 1)

15.205.030 Use Chart Guide

A.    About the Use Chart. The following chart lists all of the permitted and conditional land uses allowed in each zone.

B.    How the Use Chart is Organized. The uses are generally alphabetical within the following category headings:

1.    Animals;

2.    Business Services;

3.    Civic and Institutional;

4.    Educational;

5.    Health and Human Services;

6.    Manufacturing;

7.    Motor Vehicles;

8.    Recreational and Cultural;

9.    Residential;

10.    Retail and Commercial;

11.    Utilities.

C.    How to Use the Use Chart. The land uses are listed vertically along the left hand side and the zones are listed horizontally across the top. Each square in the chart shows the following possibilities for the use and the zone:

1.    P: The use is permitted.

2.    C: The use is allowed subject to a conditional use permit.

3.    If the square is blank, the use is not permitted in that zone.

D.    Additional Standards According to Use. Additional standards that apply to a particular use and zone are noted by number and described in the column on the far right of the chart. If the standard is not preceded by a number, the standard applies to all zones. (Ord. 15-1018 § 1)
