Sergeant Bluff City Zoning Code

The Matrix found in Section 165B.09 of this chapter is a listing of uses that may be allowed within the variety of Zoning Districts. The different uses are grouped into specific Land Use Categories. The Land Use Categories are listed in each of the Zoning Districts in lieu of specific uses. It is important to note, if a Land Use Category is listed within a specific Zoning District, it DOES NOT indicate every use in the Land Use Category is allowed within the specific District. The different uses within Section 165B.09 are: permitted (P), allowed upon approval of a conditional use permit (C), temporary (T), or not permitted (-). In order to determine if a specific use is allowed in a Zoning District, the following steps need to be followed:

   1.   Find the use type that matches your application.

   2.   Look across the table and determine which of the Zoning Districts it may be allowed.

   3.   Determine any special criteria for the uses by referring to the specific district.

   4.   Determine where the specific zoning districts are by reviewing the Official Zoning Map.

   5.   Determine the necessary procedures to receive required permits after the land or property is the control of the applicant.

   6.   When in doubt, please confer with planning staff.

The Table in Section 165B.09 also lists accessory uses that may be allowed or not allowed in any specific Zoning District. The accessory use listing can be found at the end of the Table. Additional requirements for specific uses are given in numbered footnotes below the Table.
