17.26.010 Purpose.

The zoning use matrix in Section 17.26.030 provides a listing of the various land uses which are allowed by right, by administrative site plan, or by use permit and those which are prohibited within the city’s zoning districts. In addition to the matrix in Section 17.26.030, individual precise plans provide a listing of various land uses allowed by right or use permit within each of the precise plan’s zoning categories. Refer to individual precise plans, as referenced in Chapter 17.62. (Ord. 2008-05 § 1 (part), 2008)

17.26.020 Matrix symbols.

The following symbols are used to describe the relationship of the listed uses to each of the zones. If a use is not listed in the use matrix (Section 17.26.030), then that use is prohibited in residential districts.

“P” indicates that a use is permitted by right;

“A” indicates that an administrative site plan is required;

“U” indicates that a use permit is required;

“ ”, or a blank box, indicates that a use is prohibited. (Ord. 2008-05 § 1 (part), 2008)
