This chapter identifies the uses of land that may be allowed within each of the zoning districts established by Section 16.16.020 (Zoning districts established), and establishes a land use permit requirement for each allowable use.
(Prior code § 16.20.010)
A. 
Requirements for Primary Uses. Table 2-2 identifies the primary land uses for each zoning district, except the MX and UC zoning districts. It identifies whether the use is allowed or not allowed, and indicates which land use permit would be required, if necessary, to authorize the use. Building permits or other permits may also be required by the Municipal Code. The land uses identified in Table 2-2 are defined in Division 8 (Glossary).
1. 
Permit Requirements for Primary Uses. The permitting requirements identified in Table 2-2 are:
a. 
Permitted (P). All land uses shown with a "P" in the table are allowed subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Development Code. Site plan review (Chapter 16.152) is required for new construction or for a change to a more intensive use, except as provided by Section 16.152.040 (Exemptions).
b. 
Land Development Permit (L). All land uses shown as "L" in the table that require construction of new structures or improvements, the expansion of an existing facility, or a change to a more intensive use, as determined by the Director, require the approval of a land development permit (Chapter 16.136). If there will be no construction, expansion of an existing facility, or a change to a more intensive use, the use is allowed without a new land development permit.
c. 
Administrative Use Permit (A). All land uses shown with an "A" in the table are allowed subject to the approval of an administrative use permit (Chapter 16.168). If there is an existing use permit for the use and there will be no new construction or expansion of an existing facility, no new use permit shall be required.
d. 
Commission Use Permit (C). All land uses shown with a "C" in the table are allowed subject to the approval of a commission use permit (Chapter 16.168). If there is an existing use permit for the use and there will be no new construction or expansion of an existing facility, no new use permit shall be required.
e. 
Not Allowed (Empty Box in Table). All land uses shown with an empty box in the table are not allowed in the applicable zoning district.
f. 
Not Allowed, Except Under Special Circumstances (E). All land uses shown with an "E" on the table are not allowed in the applicable zoning district, except under the special circumstances identified in the specific use standards in Division 3.
2. 
Uses With Specific Standards. All uses, regardless of the type of permit that may be required, shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Development Code. In addition, if there is a section number in the last column of the table ("Specific Use Standards"), the use is also subject to the referenced provisions.
3. 
Multiple Uses on a Single Site. Where a proposed project includes multiple land uses, and more than one type of land use permit is required, the most restrictive land use permit shall apply for all land uses.
4. 
Changes to an Approved Project. Changes to an approved project that required a land use permit shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 16.104 (Changes to an Approved Project).
5. 
Uses Not Listed. Land uses that are not listed in Table 2-2 are not allowed, except as otherwise provided by Section 16.08.020(E) (Rules of interpretation—Allowable uses of land).
B. 
Allowable Uses and Permit Requirements for the MX, UC and PT Districts. The uses of land that may be allowed within the MX, UC and PT zoning districts and the land use permit requirements for each allowable use shall be identified in the master development plan applicable to the specific site, in compliance with Chapter 16.140 (Master Development Plans) and the Rough and Ready Island Development Plan for the Port of Stockton, CA for the PT zoning district (as applicable).
C. 
Overlay Zoning Districts. Development located in overlay zoning districts (Aircraft Operations Overlay District, Design Review Overlay District, Channel Area Overlay District, Magnolia Historic Overlay District, and Commercial-Industrial Overlay District) shall be in compliance with Chapter 16.28 (Overlay Zoning District Land Use and Development Standards).
D. 
Accessory Uses. Accessory land uses are subject to the requirements of Section 16.80.020 (Accessory uses and structures).
E. 
Temporary Uses. Temporary uses are subject to the requirements of Chapter 16.164 (Temporary Activity Permits).
F. 
Freeway and Highway Oriented Uses. The following uses, when both located within 1,000 feet of Interstate 5, State Highway Route 4, or State Highway Route 99 and allowable through a Land Development Permit, Administrative Use Permit, or Commission Use Permit, shall be considered a Permitted (P) use unless within the Downtown Core area:
1. 
Auto/Vehicle Services: Car Washes; and
2. 
Auto/Vehicle Services: Fueling Stations.
The measurement of distance under this provision shall be made from the outside boundaries of the respective freeway or highway right-of-way to the property line of the proposed use. This provision excludes land zoned MX, UC and PT.
