18.03.050 - Interpretation of district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning district map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Boundaries approximately following the centerline of streets or roads shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(2)

Boundaries approximately following parcel lines shall be construed as following such parcel lines.

(3)

18.03.060 - Significance of districts—Listing of uses.

No use shall be permitted within any zone district unless it is specifically enumerated in the zone district tables of uses contained in this title as a permitted use. Uses not listed which are consistent with the listed uses and which impose no greater impacts on the need for services and adjacent properties, are permitted upon issuance of a conditional use permit. Uses not listed which the staff determines are not consistent with the listed uses may be permitted upon issuance of a special use permit.

18.03.070 - Key to tables.

The permission codes listed for uses enumerated in the tables of uses for each of the zone districts have the following meanings:

(1)

"P" means permitted. Uses designated "P" are uses by right which are permitted anywhere within the zone district.

(2)

"C" means conditional use permit. Uses designated "C" are permitted in the zone district indicated subject to conditions contained in a conditional use permit to be issued administratively by the town manager or the town manager's designee.

(3)

"S" means special use permit. Uses designated "S" may be allowed in the zone district indicated only upon issuance of a special use permit by the planning and zoning commission following notice and hearing.

(4)

"*" means not allowed. Uses designated "*" are not permitted within that zone district.

(5)

"L" means limited use. Uses designated "L" are permitted in the zone district indicated subject to conditions contained in a specific approval permit to be issued administratively by the town manager or the town manager's designee.
