A. Table of Allowed Uses. Table 21.10-4 below lists the uses allowed within the base zoning districts in Chugiak-Eagle River. Each of the listed uses is defined in Chapter
21.05. When the uses in a district are determined through a CE-PCD district this table shall not apply.
1. Explanation of table abbreviations.
a. Permitted uses. "P" in a cell indicates the use is allowed by right in the respective zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of Title 21.

21.03.180C, administrative site plan review.
c. Major site plan review. "M" in a cell indicates the use requires major site plan review in the respective zoning district in accordance with the procedures of section
21.03.180D, major site plan review.
d. Conditional uses. "C" in a cell indicates, in the respective zoning district, the use is allowed only if reviewed and approved as a conditional use in accordance with the procedures of Section
21.03.080, Conditional Uses. Throughout Title
21, the term "conditionally allowed" means approval through the conditional use process is required.

h. Use-specific standards.

2. Table organization. In Table 21.10-4, land uses and activities are classified into general "use categories" and specific "use types", based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. This classification provides a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts. This classification does not list every use or activity appropriate within the categories, and specific uses may be listed in one category when they may reasonably have been listed in one or more other categories. The use categories in such cases are intended as indexing tools.
3. Unlisted uses. When application is made for a particular use category or use type not specifically listed in Table 21.10-4, the procedure set forth in Section
21.03.220 shall be followed.
4. Use for other purposed prohibited. Approval of a use listed in Table 21.10-4, and compliance with the applicable use-specific standards for the use, authorizes the specific use only. Development or use of a property for any other use not specifically allowed in Table 21.10-4 is prohibited.
