§ 17.136.020. Allowed Land Uses. ¶

A. Allowed Uses. Table 17.136.020-1 (Permitted Land Uses in the Form-Based Zones) identifies the allowed land uses and corresponding permit and entitlement requirements in the form-based zones.
B. Permit Requirements. A land use is either allowed by right, allowed through issuance of a conditional use permit, or not permitted. In addition to the requirements for planning permits or entitlements listed herein, other permits and entitlements may be required prior to establishment of the use (e.g., building permit or permits required by other agencies). The requirements for planning permits or entitlements identified in Table 17.136.020-1 (Permitted Land Uses in the Form-Based Zones) include:
1. Permitted (P). A land use shown with a "P" indicates that the land use is permitted by right in the designated zone, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this title (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.
2. Minor Use Permit (M). A land use shown with an "M" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a minor use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this title (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.
3. Conditionally permitted (C). A land use shown with a "C" indicates that the land use is permitted in the designated zone upon issuance of a conditional use permit from the designated approving authority, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this title (e.g., development standards) as well as state and federal law.
4. Not permitted (N). A land use shown with an "N" is not allowed in the applicable zone. Additionally, uses not shown in the table are not permitted, except as otherwise provided in this title.
C. A project that includes two or more categories of land use in the same building or on the same site is subject to the highest permit level required for any individual use or single component of the project.
D. Regulations in section 17.30.020 (Classification of Land Uses) apply to this chapter.
