What else applies
- State law: Federal law (RLUIPA) bars zoning rules that treat religious assembly worse than other assembly uses.
- Not covered here: PD Planned Development: uses follow the underlying district (S34), no table; A-M: the agricultural table (Chapter 14.200) has an A-M column, but § 14.230.020 sends A-M to the Industrial Use Table (Chapter 14.350), which has only M-1 and M-2 columns; A-M cells here come from the agricultural table; Chapter 14.20 definitions (e.g. § 14.20.365 emergency shelters) are not in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
