18.70.010 Purpose of provisions.

This chapter lists the land uses that are regulated within this title in order to ensure orderly, uniform, and fair regulation that results in not only the appropriate siting of land uses, but also the appropriate physical relationship of different land uses, which are sometimes not complementary, to one another as zoning is applied. (Ord. 20-579 § 2 (Exh. B)).

18.70.020 Characterization of use and organization.

A. Each land use within Edgewood shall be characterized according to the North American Industry Classification System or land use definition provided in Chapter 18.20 EMC, Definitions. The use of a property is defined by the activity for which it or structures occupying it is or are intended, designed, arranged, occupied, or maintained. In all regulatory zones there shall be no limit as to the number of principal uses allowed on a lot, provided each principal use is permitted in the zone and meets all pertinent regulatory requirements. However, no more than one single-family detached dwelling unit or one two-unit dwelling unit, as appropriate, shall be permitted as a principal use on any individual lot.

B. All references to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) are to the titles and descriptions found in the North American Industry Classification System, 2017 Edition, prepared by United States Office of Management and Budget, which is hereby adopted by reference. The NAICS is used to suit the purposes of this title, to list and define land uses authorized to be located in the various zoning district consistent with the comprehensive plan.

C. The NAICS uses a six-digit coding system to identify particular industries and their placement in the hierarchical structure of the classification system. The first two digits of the code designates the sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group, the fifth digit designates the NAICS industry, and the sixth digit designates the national industry.

D. A “part” in the NAICS column of the land use table means that only a part of the associated NAICS definition will be included into the specified land use. The community development director or assignee will respond to requests for clarification on a project by project basis.

E. A “special” in the NAICS column of the land use table means that the NAICS definition for the specified land use is not provided or that the city has modified the definition by this title. The “special” definition is provided in Chapter 18.20 EMC, Definitions.

F. The community development director shall determine whether a proposed land use not specifically listed in a land use table or specifically included within a NAICS classification is allowed in a zone. The director’s determination shall be based on whether or not permitting the proposed use in a particular zone is consistent with the purposes of this title and the zone’s purpose as set forth in Chapter 18.80 EMC, by considering the following factors:

1. The physical characteristics of the use and its supporting structures, including but not limited to scale, traffic and other impacts, and hours of operation;

2. Whether or not the use complements or is compatible with other uses permitted in the zone; and

3. The NAICS classification, if any, assigned to the business or other entity that will carry on the primary activities of the proposed use. (Ord. 20-579 § 2 (Exh. B)).

18.70.040 Establishing use.

A. The use of land or buildings shall be in accordance with those listed in the Land Use Table. No land or building shall hereafter be used and no building or structure erected, altered, or converted other than for those uses specified in the zoning district in which it is located. The legend for interpreting the Land Use Table is:

Designates use permitted in the zoning district indicated

Designates use prohibited in district indicated

A

Designates use may be approved by administrative use permit

CUP

Designates use may be approved by conditional use permit

B. If a use is identified as requiring a temporary use permit (TUP), then the use is only allowed if the TUP is obtained in accordance with EMC 18.50.070.

C. If a use is not listed, it is not allowed in any zoning district.

D. It is recognized that new types of land use will develop and forms of land use not presently anticipated may seek to locate in the city of Edgewood. In order to provide for such changes and contingencies, a determination as to the appropriate classification of any new or unlisted form of land use in the Land Use Table shall be performed in accordance with EMC 18.50.020(D).

E. Any proposed use, business, structure, or other land occupancy is subject to the primary, secondary, and incidental uses expressed in the Land Use Table. As an example, a company performing surveying and mapping services may locate their office in accordance with their primary NAICS code for the service function and any secondary, tertiary, or otherwise accompanying or secondary outdoor storage, maintenance facility, information services, or other use is subject to the development standards and conditions of the incidental use. (Ord. 20-579 § 2 (Exh. B)).
