Article 15. Uses

15.1 GENERAL USE REGULATIONS

A. No structure or land may be used or occupied unless allowed as a permitted, temporary, or accessory use within the zoning district. These use regulations apply to the use of private property, including City-owned property, but exclude rights-of-way unless otherwise allowed by this Ordinance.

B. All uses shall comply with any applicable federal and state requirements, and any additional federal, state, county, and/or city ordinances.

C. All uses are defined to be inclusive of specific uses. The following regulations apply:

1. When a use meets a specific definition, it is regulated as such and cannot be regulated as part of a more inclusive use category.

2. A use that is not explicitly listed in the use matrix will be evaluated by the Zoning Administrator to determine if the use is part of a use listed. Temporary uses not explicitly listed in the use matrix may exist no longer than 90 consecutive days.

3. A use that is not listed in the use matrix and cannot be interpreted as part of a use listed in the use matrix is prohibited.

D. All uses shall comply with any prescribed conditions as applicable. Prescribed conditions apply to certain uses within the use matrix to address additional impacts, apply specific design or siting standards, and/or link to additional regulations outside this Ordinance.

E. All uses and structures shall be located on the parcel(s) for which the uses and structures are approved, and shall not encroach onto other parcels or rights-of-way, unless otherwise allowed by this Ordinance.
