[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
This division describes the system used to classify and define
principal uses in this zoning chapter.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
This zoning chapter classifies principal land uses into seven
major groupings. These major groupings are referred to as "use categories."
The use categories are as follows:
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Each use category is further divided into more specific subcategories.
Use subcategories classify principal land uses and activities based
on common functional, product or physical characteristics, such as
the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents,
and how goods or services are sold or delivered and site conditions.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Some use subcategories are further broken down to identify specific
types of uses that are regulated differently than the subcategory
as a whole.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
The Community Development Director is authorized to assign proposed
land uses to the appropriate category and subcategory based on the
provisions of this division. In doing so, the Community Development
Director is authorized to determine the most similar and thus most
appropriate use category, subcategory or specific use type based on
the actual or projected characteristics of the principal use or activity
in relationship to the use category, subcategory and specific use
type descriptions provided in this division. In making such determinations,
the Community Development Director must consider:
(a)
The types of activities that typically occur in conjunction
with the use;
(b)
The types of equipment and processes to be used;
(c)
The existence, number and frequency of residents, customers
or employees;
(d)
Parking demands of the use; and

Other factors deemed relevant to a use determination.
