The purpose of this chapter is to establish the zones and overlays that regulate physical development, use, development options, and subdivision. Zone and overlay standards are established in order to achieve the desired future land use articulated in the Comprehensive Plan. The zones are grouped into overlay districts, residential zones, nonresidential zones, and special purpose zones for organizational purposes.

Editor's note— Ord. No. 881, § 25, adopted September 26, 2017, repealed § 106.10.020, which pertained to establishment of allowed land uses and derived from Ord. No. 823, § 9, 11-13-2012.

A.

Zoning boundaries are depicted on the city's official zoning map, which is hereby adopted by reference. The abbreviated zoning designations used in this title have the same meaning as the entire zoning district classification title and are meant to implement the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use designations for the city.

B.

Individual water, on-site wastewater, public water and public wastewater availability help determine the zoning densities allowed within each of the established zones. When private water or sewerage facilities are sought within the community, the Thurston county health department is the jurisdiction with approval authority regarding ultimate lot size, which may require more land than is shown in Table 106.10.070-2. This decision is based on physical constraints of the land including proximity of individual water (if applicable) and area requirements for on-site waste systems.

C.

Notwithstanding any provisions in this title to the contrary, surveying the location of lot lines or setback lines at a development site and/or construction related thereto shall be the responsibility of the applicant/owner.
