16 - ZONING DISTRICTS*1
Prior ordinance history: Ord. 04-09.
A.
Establishment of Zoning Districts. For the purpose of this chapter, the planning jurisdiction is divided into the following zoning districts. Each of the zoning districts stands alone and is not part of a hierarchy-system of zoning. For example, uses permitted in the MXN district are not permitted in the MXC district unless expressly listed as such in the MXC district. Only those uses and standards that are expressly indicated and noted for each district apply to that district.
B.
Establishment of Planned Unit Development District. This chapter allows for any zoning district(s) to be rezoned for the creation of a planned unit development. All planned unit developments shall be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 17.24 of this title.
C.
Subdivision of Land. The subdivision of land in every zoning district shall be consistent with the provisions of the applicable subdivision control ordinance for the jurisdiction in which the property is located.
(Ord. 05-21 § 1 (part))
See also: Chapter 17.20, Performance Zoning; Chapter 17.24, Overlay Zoning; Chapter 17.28, Planned Unit Development.
A.
Land Uses Specified. Each land use is either a permitted, nonpermitted or a special exception use in each zoning district. A general list of permitted and special exception uses for each district are noted in the "Permitted Uses" and "Special Exceptions" columns accompanying the description of each district in this section. Specific land uses within each general category are listed in the Land Use Matrix set out in this section.
B.
Unlisted or Questionable Land Uses. Any use not listed as a permitted use or special exception use is considered nonpermitted. The planning director may determine into which category any questionable use is placed if it is not specifically listed but is similar to another use that is a permitted or a special exception use. This determination may be appealed to the board of zoning appeals consistent with the provisions of Section 17.48.050 for appeals of administrative decisions.

Lot Standards Established. The lot standards for each zoning district shall be as specified in the description of each district in this chapter. Lot standards shall include, but not be limited to, front yard setback, side yard setback, rear yard setback, lot area, lot width, lot frontage, lot depth, height, living and ground floor areas, primary structures, and lot coverage. A summary of the lot standards is provided in the table below:
* No garage vehicle entrance from a street or alley shall have a setback of less than 20 feet (to allow for off-street parking between the sidewalk and garage door).
** No RM lot shall be less than 8,000 square feet (for developments exceeding 4 units, an additional 2,000 square feet of lot area shall be required for each additional unit).
B.
General Lot Requirements. All lots shall comply with the following requirements consistent with the applicable lot standards:
1.
Legal Nonconforming Lots. All lots legally established prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter which are in conflict with the lot standards shall be considered legal nonconforming lots consistent with the provisions of Chapter 17.44, Nonconformities.
2.
Compliance Requirements. Except as provided in this title, no structure shall be erected, altered, enlarged or reconstructed unless such alteration, enlargement, or reconstruction conforms with the lot regulations of the zoning district in which it is located. The lot requirements of this chapter shall not apply in instances where this chapter specifically provides alternate requirements, such as an overlay zoning district.
3.
Setback Standards. No portion of any structure is allowed to be located within the required setbacks. Structures shall include, but not be limited to, garages, carports, balconies, roofs, decks, chimneys, fire escapes, and platforms above normal grade level. Parking spaces, interior drives, other vehicle use areas and sidewalks shall be permitted within the required setbacks at normal grade level subject to the requirements of this chapter. Cornices, bay windows, eaves, steps, and other minor appurtenances to structures may also encroach into the required setbacks.
C.
Development Standards. All structures and land uses, including any alterations to either, that are established or otherwise occur after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall conform to the development standards provided by this title. The development standards that apply to each zoning district shall be as cross-referenced in the description of each district in this chapter and as described in Chapter 17.32, Development Standards.

This district should be used to protect agricultural operations from land uses that are incompatible with the available infrastructure.

16 - ZONING DISTRICTS*1
Prior ordinance history: Ord. 04-09.
A.
Establishment of Zoning Districts. For the purpose of this chapter, the planning jurisdiction is divided into the following zoning districts. Each of the zoning districts stands alone and is not part of a hierarchy-system of zoning. For example, uses permitted in the MXN district are not permitted in the MXC district unless expressly listed as such in the MXC district. Only those uses and standards that are expressly indicated and noted for each district apply to that district.
B.
Establishment of Planned Unit Development District. This chapter allows for any zoning district(s) to be rezoned for the creation of a planned unit development. All planned unit developments shall be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 17.24 of this title.
C.
Subdivision of Land. The subdivision of land in every zoning district shall be consistent with the provisions of the applicable subdivision control ordinance for the jurisdiction in which the property is located.
(Ord. 05-21 § 1 (part))
See also: Chapter 17.20, Performance Zoning; Chapter 17.24, Overlay Zoning; Chapter 17.28, Planned Unit Development.
A.
Land Uses Specified. Each land use is either a permitted, nonpermitted or a special exception use in each zoning district. A general list of permitted and special exception uses for each district are noted in the "Permitted Uses" and "Special Exceptions" columns accompanying the description of each district in this section. Specific land uses within each general category are listed in the Land Use Matrix set out in this section.
B.
Unlisted or Questionable Land Uses. Any use not listed as a permitted use or special exception use is considered nonpermitted. The planning director may determine into which category any questionable use is placed if it is not specifically listed but is similar to another use that is a permitted or a special exception use. This determination may be appealed to the board of zoning appeals consistent with the provisions of Section 17.48.050 for appeals of administrative decisions.
