Land use classifications for the city are established by the comprehensive plan. These land use classifications and the zoning districts must be consistent. Refer to the comprehensive plan for the definitions and general allowable uses of each use classification. The zoning districts match the land use classifications, and the specific types of uses and development standards are enumerated in more detail in this article and the code. Where a use is not specifically enumerated as a permitted, special exception or conditional use within a zoning district, such use is deemed to be prohibited, unless such use is approved by the city manager or designee, as being similar in nature to the range of permissible uses within the applicable zoning district, and is consistent with the intent and purpose of said district and underlying future land use category.

In addition, certain uses are subject to additional standards and/or limitations as prescribed in the comprehensive plan and this chapter, including but not limited to, article VII, accessory structures and uses; article IX, supplementary development regulations; article X, specific use supplemental development regulations; and uses located within environmentally sensitive lands are subject to chapter 62, article III. Further, limitations on uses and development may also apply to properties located within the coastal high hazard area.

Subject only to consistency with the city comprehensive plan and the countywide plan and rules, any public facility(ies) or project(s) shall be a permitted use or activity in any zoning district when approved by the city council through the city's capital improvement program, through a capital budget approval or approvals by the city council, through the city council's approval of the city's annual fiscal year budget, or any other formal approval of the city council. Said city council approved public facility(ies) or project(s) shall automatically be deemed to have met all of the provisions contained within all of the chapters of the land development code.

Existing development is also subject to chapter 50 related to nonconforming structures, sites, uses and other land development code standards and requirements.
