E. The official zoning map shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land in the City.

17.02.020 Use Classifications.

A. Table 17.02.020 indicates permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses in the various zone districts. Permitted uses are allowed as a matter of right. Because of considerations of traffic, noise, lighting, hazards, health and environmental issues, certain uses may be permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit. For purposes of this section the following apply:

P = Permitted use

C = requires a Conditional Use Permit

X = Expressly prohibited use

B. Overlay districts may affect permitted uses, the size, location, and design of structures and uses on the site.

C. The Planning Commission may permit any use not specifically described in this title, provided that the use is not prohibited, or is not expressly allowed in a less restrictive zone. For purposes of this section, the Suburban Residential shall be considered the most restrictive zone. A record shall be kept of such interpretations to facilitate equitable future administration and to permit periodic amendments of this title.
