The Planning Director shall have the authority and responsibility to review uses not listed in this chapter. A proposed unlisted use shall be permitted as a principal, accessory or comparable mobilehome park within a Base District if the Planning Director determines that such use falls within the purpose and intent of that Base District, is of a comparable nature to the principal, accessory or conditional uses set forth as permitted in the Base District, is not listed in another Base District, and will not be detrimental to property in the vicinity of such use.
(Ord. No. 869, § 2)
The City, by ordinance, may prezone certain contiguous areas outside the City which, in the opinion of the City Council, bear relationship to the General Plan and sphere of influence. For this purpose, prezoning maps may be developed, adopted, and amended in accordance with the provisions of Section 9-2.333, Pre-Zoning Prior to Annexation Procedures.
(Ord. No. 869, § 2)
In addition to the regulations included in Section 9-3.533, Nonconforming Uses, Lots, and Structures, the City recognizes that there are areas within the City that have been developed legally for one use under previous zoning and which provide benefits to the community, but which are not consistent with the General Plan land use designation. To allow the continuing use of these areas, while identifying the future allowable use for the parcels in the event that the parcel is redeveloped for another use, the City may identify these areas on the Official Zoning Map with the existing zoning district identified and the future zoning district (General Plan consistent) identified in parentheses. The interim uses will be subject to the regulations applicable to the identified interim base district.
