A district use chart is established and contained herein as a tool for the purpose of determining the specific uses allowed in each use district. No use shall be allowed in a use district that is not listed in the use chart as either a permitted, accessory or conditional use, unless the administrator determines that an unlisted use is similar to one that is already enumerated in the use chart and may therefore be allowed, subject to the requirements associated with that use and all other applicable provisions of the city of Entiat.
Additional regulations may apply to those properties located within the shoreline master program area, within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the Columbia River or Entiat River, or along State Highway 97A.
