18.16.010 Table of uses. The following table lists general categories of uses and, within each category, specific types of uses. Each use is identified by a use code. “P” indicates a use allowed by right in the zoning district, “S” indicates a use allowed by special use permit, and “X” indicates a use prohibited in the zoning district. In overlay districts, “U” indicates that the requirements are the same as for the underlying zoning district.

A. All uses listed are principal uses unless otherwise specified.

B. The provisions of an overlay district apply to each use in addition to the provisions of the underlying zoning district. If the provision applicable in the underlying zoning district and the provision applicable in the overlay district are different, the more restrictive provision applies to the use. Uses prohibited in an overlay district are designated with “X.”

C. Uses not included in the table are prohibited.
