This chapter lists uses permitted by right in each zoning district. If a use is not listed as being permitted it is prohibited. This chapter further lists uses that may be allowed by special use overlay, subject to council approval.

If an application is received for a use that is not specifically listed by right or subject to a special use overlay, the city manager shall forward the request to the planning and zoning commission, who shall consider and make recommendations on it to council, who will make a final determination as to whether this chapter should be amended to include that use, a definition changed to include that use, or any other amendments as council determines are appropriate.
