Wapato City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 17

04 PERMITTED LAND USES

§ 17.04.010 Purpose.

For any particular district, there are some uses that are consistent with the intent and character of the zoning district; some uses that may be consistent if careful site design neutralizes the adverse characteristics of the use or site; and other land uses that, regardless of site design, are not consistent with the intent or character of the district. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the degree to which each land use is permitted in each district and establish the appropriate level of review for each land use in terms of the specific standards and requirements of each district.
(Ord. 956(part), 1993)

§ 17.04.020 Land use classification system.

Land uses within each zoning district shall be classified into four principal categories as follows:
A. 
Class (1). Class (1) uses not requiring Class (2) review are permitted; provided, that district standards are met. The building official shall use the procedures in Chapter 17.13 to review Class (1) uses and associated site improvements for compliance with the provisions and standards of the zoning district in which they are located. Class (1) uses require Class (2) review when:
1. 
All or part of the development, except for agricultural buildings, single-family dwellings, and duplexes, is in the flood plain overlay district; or
2. 
The proposed use includes hazardous materials; or
3. 
The applicant requires adjustments of one or more of the specific development standards pursuant to Section 17.10.020.
B. 
Class (2). Class (2) uses are generally permitted in the district. However, the compatibility between a Class (2) use and the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance and occasionally a Class (2) use may be incompatible at a particular location. Therefore, Class (2) review by the planning commission is required in order to promote compatibility with the intent and character of the district and the objectives and development criteria of the Wapato urban area comprehensive plan. The planning commission may approve, deny, or impose conditions on the proposed use and site improvements. The procedures in Chapter 17.14 shall be used to review and evaluate Class (2) uses.
C. 
Class (3). Class (3) uses are generally not permitted in a particular district, but may be allowed after Class (3) review and public hearing. The uses may be approved, denied, or conditions may be imposed on the proposed use to promote compatibility with the intent and character of the district and the objectives and development criteria of the Wapato urban area comprehensive plan.
D. 
Uses Not Permitted. Uses listed in Table 4-1 and not classified (1), (2) or (3) in a particular district are not permitted in that district.
When two or more uses are proposed in the same project, the entire project shall be subject to the level of review required by the highest classified use: Class (3) use being higher than Class (2) use; and Class (2) use being higher than Class (1) use.
(Ord. 1183 § 2(part), 2008; Ord. 956(part), 1993)

§ 17.04.030 Table of permitted land uses.

Table 4-1 titled "Permitted Land Uses" is incorporated as part of this section. Each permitted land use listed in Table 4-1 is designated a Class (1), (2) or (3) use for a particular zoning district. In addition, some Class (1) uses may require Class (2) review in accordance with Section 17.04.020(A). All permitted land uses and associated site improvements are subject to the design standards and review procedures of this title.

§ 17.04.125 Placement of new manufactured homes.

A. 
Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to ensure that there is no discrimination in the siting of new manufactured homes in residential areas of the city. The provisions established herein are intended to ensure that there is no such discrimination, and that the new manufactured homes do not negatively impact the residential areas in which such new manufactured homes are to be located.
B. 
Definition of New Manufactured Home. A "new manufactured home" means any manufactured home required to be titled under RCW Title 46 which has not been previously titled to a retail purchaser, and is not a "used mobile home" as defined in RCW 82.45.032(2).
C. 
Siting Is Regulated As If the New Manufactured Home Is a Site-Built Home or Factory-Built Modular Home. New manufactured homes shall be allowed in all places where single-family dwellings are allowed, and subject to the same class reviews. In addition to the appropriate class review, the city shall determine if the site is adequate for a manufactured home by taking into account the following exceptions and requirements for siting:
1. 
That the manufactured home is a new manufactured home.
2. 
That the manufactured home is to be set upon a permanent foundation, as specified by the manufacturer, and that the space from the bottom of the home to the ground be enclosed by concrete or an approved concrete product which can be either load-bearing or decorative.
3. 
That the manufactured home complies with all local design standards applicable to all other homes within the neighborhood in which the manufactured home is to be located.
4. 
That the manufactured home is thermally equivalent to the State Energy Code.
5. 
That the manufactured home meets all other requirements for a designated manufactured home as defined in RCW 35.63.160.
