What else applies
- Standards for this use: See Section 18.43.060 (Bed and Breakfast standards).
- GC-VR sub-designation is also Sd. Not listed in office, industrial, OS or PF tables.
- Not covered here: PD (Planned Development) district is named in the notes but its use table is not in the text; Zone sub-districts (RS-3, RS-3.5, RS-4, RM-6 to RM-30) share one column in the tables; only some limitations name them. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
