Atwater City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 17

45 - UNCLASSIFIED AREAS

17.45.010 - Purpose.

Cities occasionally end up with portions of the city left without General Plan or Zoning Code land use designations. These areas are often referred to as "unclassified" or "white holes." Unclassified areas can occur for various reasons as cities amend planning documents and maps over time. This Chapter establishes a Conditional Use Permit requirement for proposed uses in unclassified Areas of the City. This Chapter gives the City discretion to permit development in these areas pursuant to Chapter 17.71 of this Code relating to Conditional Use Permits. For the purposes of finding General Plan and Zoning Code consistency for Conditional Use Permits under this provision, consistency findings shall be based on the requirements in Chapter 17.71 as well as the projects' consistency with the policies and goals of the General Plan.

(Ord. CS 932, § 3, 4-30-2012)
