A. 
A, Agricultural District. The purpose of the A, Agricultural District is to accommodate agricultural activities and related uses on the fringe of the urbanized area of the City. Land within this district is likely to be developed with other land uses in the future. Because A districts will typically be located within close proximity to urban development, the agricultural activities conducted in the A district should not be detrimental to surrounding land uses. The type and intensity of uses permitted in this district will encourage and protect agricultural uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate change in district classification is requested by the property owner or initiated by the City.
B. 
RE, Rural Estate District. The purpose of the RE, Rural Estate District is to accommodate very low-density residential development in semi-rural areas of the City, characterized by dwellings surrounded by ample open space. Consistent with its semi-rural character, some single-family lots are large enough to accommodate small-scale agriculture and/or stables. The RE district also is intended to provide for some limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
C. 
RR, Rural Residential District. The purpose of the RR, Rural Residential District is to accommodate low-density residential development in semi-rural areas of the City. The district functions as a large-lot single-family dwelling district and also provides for limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
D. 
R-1A, Single-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-1A, Single-Family Residential District is to accommodate low-density residential development. The R-1A district also provides for limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods, with slightly larger lot sizes and lower density than the R-1 Single Family District.
E. 
R-1, Single-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-1, Single-Family Residential District is to accommodate low-density residential development and limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
F. 
R-1.5, Single-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-1.5, Single-Family Residential District is to accommodate low-density residential development and limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods, with slightly smaller lot sizes and higher density than the R-1 Single-Family District.
G. 
R-2, Single- and Two-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-2, Single- and Two-Family Residential District is to accommodate single- and two-family residential development. The R-2 district typically functions as a transition between arterial and collector streets, commercial and/or higher residential areas, and lower density single-family residential areas. The R-2 district also provides for limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
H. 
R-3, Medium Density Residential District. The R-3, Medium-Density Residential District, is intended to accommodate a mix of two-family andattached single-family residential development. The R-3 district is typically located adjacent to an arterial or collector street and serves as a transition between commercial development or heavy automobile traffic and lower density residential development. The R-3 district also provides for limited institutional uses compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
I. 
R-3A, Multiple-Family Residential District. The R-3A, Multiple-Family Residential District, accommodates single-family attached and multiple-family residential development on individual lots where there are sufficient services and infrastructure to support higher density residential development.
J. 
R-3B, Apartment Community Residential District. The R-3B, Apartment Community Residential District, is intended to accommodate multiple-family residential development where there are sufficient services and infrastructure to support higher density residential development. The principal use of the land in this district is multiple-family development that is planned and developed only on a lot or tract under single ownership or unified control.
K. 
PR, Parks, Recreation and Public Use District. The PR, Parks, Recreation and Public Use District is a special purpose district that is intended to accommodate land uses that offer a variety of active and passive recreational opportunities and other public uses. See Section 415.070.
A. 
Use Groups. The use table classifies land uses into five (5) major groupings: Residential, Public and Civic, Commercial, Industrial and Other. These are referred to as “Use Groups.”
B. 
Use Categories. Each Use Group is further divided into “Use Categories.” These categories classify land uses based on common characteristics, such as the type of products sold, site conditions or the amount of activity on the site. Some use categories are further divided into specific use types, which are described in Section 485.010.
C. 
Determination of Land Use Category. When a land use cannot be classified into a Use Category or appears to fit into multiple categories, the Development Services Director is authorized to determine the most appropriate Use Category.
D. 
Permitted Uses. Uses identified with a “P” in the use table are permitted by-right in the designated zoning districts, subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this Code.
E. 
Uses Subject to Special Conditions. Uses identified with an “S” in the use table are permitted by-right in the designated zoning districts, subject to compliance with all conditions of this chapter and with all other applicable provisions of this Code.
F. 
Conditional Uses. Uses identified with a “C” in the use table may be allowed in the designated zoning districts if approved in accordance with the conditional use procedure of Section 470.030. Approved conditional uses are subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this code.
G. 
Prohibited Uses. Uses identified with a “–” in the use table are expressly prohibited. Uses not listed in the use table are also prohibited unless the Development Services Director determines that the use fits into an existing use category.
H. 
Use Standards. The “Use Standard” column in the use table provides a cross-reference to additional standards that apply to some uses, whether or not they are allowed as a permitted use, use subject to special conditions or conditional use.
