What else applies

  • Cells written "P/C(1)" or "P/A(6)" (permitted under a condition, otherwise a permit) are left out because the status depends on a condition the page cannot show. RR: P(3)/C = permitted as accessory to a residential use, conditional use permit as a primary use (S2 note 3). RA: administrative use permit for parcels under 20 acres (S1 note 5).
  • Not covered here: Zone names are not stated in the packet text. Cells written with a slash and a condition, such as P/C(1), P/A(6), P(3)/C, are left out of every use.. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
