Zones where keeping horses can go
Greenfield's code calls this use “Equestrian facilities - hobby”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| A-V Artisan agricultural/visitor serving | Allowed — see note Note 27: Must be consistent with the intent of the A-V district and AAVS general plan designation. | Division III — ZONING DISTRICTS, ALLOWABLE USES, AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- Standards for this use: § 17.71.020 Permit Requirements (animal keeping).
- "Equestrian facilities - commercial" is CUP in A-V only and is not used. "Animal keeping" (Chapter 17.71) is a separate livestock row.
- Not covered here: Overlay districts MUO, GWO, IPO, RCO are not base zones. Mixed-use overlay exceptions (§ 17.42.030) change some commercial cells; see notes 5 and 29.. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
