Lot sizes, setbacks, uses and development standards listed herein shall be considered the minimum standards allowable. The following shall consist of the zoning districts of the city and borough.
(S.G.C. 22.16.010; Ord. 02-1683 § 4, 2002)
The use of a property is defined by the activity for which the building or lot is intended, designed, arranged, occupied, or maintained. Each lot or parcel in single-family and related zones shall contain only one principal use as defined by the use tables in this chapter. Multifamily and commercial zones may contain up to three principal uses. Other uses on the lot or parcel may be permitted accessory uses or conditional uses. All applicable requirements of this code, or other applicable state or federal requirements, shall govern a use located in the city and borough of Sitka.
The land use tables contained in this chapter determine whether specific uses are permitted as principal (P) or conditional (C) uses. Each table lists the zoning districts in the vertical columns and the land use activities in the horizontal rows. If no symbol appears in the box at the intersection of a row and column, the use is not allowed and is prohibited unless otherwise noted. In general, prohibited uses shall be as follows:
A. 
Any use or structure not of a character indicated under permitted principal, accessory or conditional uses;
B. 
Any use which causes, or may be reasonably expected to cause, an excessive disturbance not in keeping with the character and stated intent of this district. “Excessive” is defined for these purposes as a degree exceeding that generated by uses permitted in the district in their customary manner of operation or to a degree injurious to the public safety, health, welfare or convenience.
If the letter “P” appears in the box, the use is permitted outright subject to the provisions of the code. If the letter “C” appears in the box, the use is a conditional use subject to review and approval including site plan approval. If the box contains a number, there will be a corresponding footnote further specifying the conditions applicable to the use in the zone.
With the exception of the Gary Paxton special district or as otherwise provided in this code, if the letter “P,” “C,” or another notation does not appear in the box, the use is prohibited.
The Gary Paxton special (GP/GPS) district was specifically developed to allow for a wide range of flexible uses on the site. When the site was acquired, it was recognized that a number of appropriate uses may surface that could not be anticipated. Appropriate and inappropriate uses could be regulated through lease agreements and sales agreements that must be approved by the municipality. As a result, the GP/GPS district use tables shall function differently from the manner outlined above.
Any uses, except retail and business uses, at Table 22.16.015-6, as well as natural resource extracting and mining support facilities uses within Table 22.16.015-5, may be approved in the GP/GPS district without a requirement of a zoning amendment in accordance with SGC § 2.100.080.
Retail and business uses in the GP/GPS district that are permitted uses, conditional uses, or prohibited uses on the site are governed by Table 22.16.015-6. Natural resource extractions and mining support facilities are conditional uses governed by Table 22.16.015-5 in the GP/GPS district. These use tables are binding on the owners and the operators in the Gary Paxton industrial park. No changes to these tables shall be made without a zoning ordinance text amendment that follows the full procedures in Chapter 22.10 SGC, Zoning Code Administration.
As outlined in SGC § 22.16.110, the I industrial zone is intended for industrial and heavier commercial uses. The zone also contains a number of heavy public uses as permitted and conditional uses. Additional conditional uses may be approved by the assembly, through the conditional use process, even though they may not be specifically listed as permitted or conditional uses in the following table.
