Applicability. The provisions of this chapter apply to all new development and all modifications to existing development, including changes of use, unless stated otherwise in this title.
B. 
Unlisted uses. Where a use is not listed in Table 18.410.3, a use determination may be requested as provided in Section 18.60.030 for the purposes of determining the maximum vehicle parking and minimum bicycle parking standards of this chapter.
(Ord. 17-22 §2; Ord. 18-23 §2; Ord. 22-10 §2; Ord. 23-08, 12/5/2023)
