§ 17.60.030 Permitted uses within each zone.
(1)
In determining the applicable land use for these zones, the planning department shall examine the land use matrix at FMC § 17.15.060 for both classifications associated with both zones associated with the overlap zone (e.g., low density commercial/high density residential). The proposed use shall be examined for both zones associated with the overlap zone and where a use is prohibited in either zone, that use shall be prohibited within the overlap zone.
(2)
Where a use is permitted in both zones, said use shall be permitted in the overlap zone.
(3)
Where there is a difference between the two zones as to whether or not the use is permitted, special or conditional, the more restrictive designation shall be applied to the overlap zone. For example, if a land use is designated “special” in one zone, and “conditional” in another, for the purposes of the overlap zone the conditional designation shall apply.
(Ord. 433 § 12.30, 1997)
§ 17.60.040 Lot/yard minimum standards.
The larger of the lot and yard minimum standards between the residential and commercial zones associated with the overlap zone shall be applied to those developments undertaken within the overlap zone.
