Appendix A

District Use Chart
Uses of land in Twisp are regulated based on the primary or principal use of the land and/or structures occupying the land. In commercial and light industrial zones (excluding airport industrial) uses incidental, secondary, accessory or appurtenant to the primary or principal use of the land and/or structure do not have to be listed in the use chart as an allowed use in order to be allowed providing such uses do not represent a significant (greater than 30 percent) percentage or portion of use or activity and do not alter the appearance and overall use of the land and/or structure. Such uses must complete an impact assessment checklist and may be conditioned by the administrator to mitigate potential noise, dust and other impacts to adjoining properties. Uses not listed: uses not listed in the district use chart may be allowed if they comply with the general and specific performance standards and with any special regulations that apply to the zoning district in which the use is proposed. The district use chart is not a prescriptive list of all allowed or disallowed uses, but a comprehensive list of examples.
