Allowed Use

Types of Allowances

The Table of Allowed Uses identifies what uses are allowed, allowed with an incentive, or conditionally allowed in each zone using the following abbreviations:

Allowed Uses

An "A" indicates that the use is allowed by right and is not subject to Use-Specific Standards or other special conditions other than those that are standard for other uses allowed in the district. Allowed uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of the code and are generally reviewed through an Administrative Review process.

Allowed Subject to Use-Specific Standards

An "A*" in a cell indicates that the use may be allowed, subject to Administrative Review to verify compliance with Use-Specific Standards. Use-Specific Standards are noted through a cross-reference in the last column of the table, and the cross-referenced content appears in Section 11-03-03, Use-Specific Standards. Uses that are allowed subject to Use-Specific Standards are generally reviewed through a Type 2 process, as shown in Section 11-05-04.2, Four Paths for Review and Approval.

Conditional Uses

A "C" or “C*” indicates that the use is allowed in that zoning district only if reviewed and approved through the submission of a Conditional Use Permit. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable regulations in the code, including the Use-Specific Standards and Development and Design Standards.

Each Conditional Use Permit application is evaluated on its potential to have a positive impact on adjacent properties and surrounding areas, among other factors, and may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied based on the findings of the decision-making body. Conditional uses are generally reviewed through a public hearing.

Uses Allowed with Conditions

An “A/C” or “A*/C*” indicates that the use is allowed in that zoning district under some circumstances or in some locations, but requires approval through the submission of a Conditional Use Permit in other areas or locations. The Use-Specific Standards cross-referenced in the far-right column clarify those cases in which a Conditional Use Permit is required. These uses may be reviewed either administratively or through a hearing process depending on the zone, location, density, and form.

Prohibited Uses

A blank cell indicates that the use is prohibited in that zoning district.

Symbols

An “*” symbol next to an abbreviation indicates that the use shall comply with the Use-Specific Standards indicated in the far-right column, also found in Section 11-03-03, Use-Specific Standards.

A “+” symbol next to an abbreviation indicates that there are incentives available for that use within that zoning district, or that the use is only allowed if available incentives are used. Incentives are cross-referenced in Section 11-03-03, Use-Specific Standards, and the cross-referenced content appears in Section 11-04-03.7, Incentives.
