For the purpose of implementing and administering this title, certain uses as defined in Chapter 17.06 CMC and Appendix Chapter F are regulated as provided in this chapter.
B. 
Every use or occupancy of buildings, structures or property within the city and the city’s UGA shall be categorized by definition into one of the use codes established in CMC § 17.78.020. Where a disagreement may exist relating to an appropriate definition for a proposed use, the administrator shall determine such definition and category, subject to appeal to the hearing examiner as provided in CMC § 17.09.160.
C. 
Every use code which is listed in Appendix Chapter R[1] (shoreline uses), CMC § 17.30.020 (airport uses) and CMC § 17.78.020 (regular land use zones) as a permitted use or an accessory use in the applicable district and zone shall be permitted to exist, subject to and in compliance with all applicable regulatory and performance requirements of this title, and any other agency with jurisdiction.

D. 
Every use code which is listed in Appendix Chapter R (shoreline uses), CMC § 17.30.020 (airport uses) or CMC § 17.78.020 (regular land use zones) as a conditional use in the applicable district or zone shall require an application to be reviewed and decided by the hearing examiner except as provided in subsection (G) of this section. Such application shall provide the information necessary for a proper review consistent with CMC § 17.09.185 (conditional use), and with any applicable provisions of any special district or environmental district.
E. 
Every use code which is proposed to be located within a PUD shall be reviewed and decided by the planning commission as provided in Chapter 17.39 CMC, Planned Unit Development (PUD).
F. 
Every use code which is not listed in any use chart as a permitted, accessory, temporary, conditional or prohibited use in the applicable regular land use zone and/or special district shall be considered a conditional use for the purpose of permit application and review and subject also to the special review criteria of CMC § 17.09.185 except as provided in subsection (G) of this section.
G. 
Every use code which is located within any IDD, and for which the applicant is the Port of Chehalis, shall be considered a permitted use for the purpose of permit review. Any site-specific use or detailed site plan which is identified in any subdivision approved under CMC § 17.12A.100 et seq. shall be vested as a permitted use.
H. 
Any use code which is listed on any use chart in this title as a prohibited use in the applicable regular land use zone, environmental district or special district, and which does not constitute a lawful nonconforming use, shall not be allowed or permitted under such circumstance except as provided in subsection (G) of this section.

From and after the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this title, all uses of property within the city shall comply with the applicable requirements of this title.
B. 
In determining which use category or use code to apply to a specific project or proposal, the administrator shall first apply the most narrow definition identified in Appendix Chapter F[1].

At such time as an appropriate category or code is determined, all requirements of this title, including the following chart, shall be applicable.
