20.40.010 - Tables of permissible uses.
T-,6,I., :n nn_, t The Tables of Permissible Uses set-, forth the permissible uses within the respective
zoning classifications in the city, subject to other applicable provisions in this title. It should be read in
close conjunction with the definitions of terms set forth in Section 20.08.010 (definitions of basic terms)
and the other interpretative provisions set forth in this article. The tables are separated into five
classifications: Residential Zones, Commercial and Mixed-Use Zones, Industrial Zones, Special Zones, and
Public/Semi-Public Zone.
20.40.020 - Use of the designations Z, S, C in tables of permissible uses.
(a) Subject to Section 20.40.030 (community and economic development director jurisdiction over uses
otherwise permissible with a zoning permit),when used in connection with a particular use in the table
of permissible uses (Section 20.40.010), the letter "P" means that the use is permissible with a valid
city business license. The letters "ZV" mean that the use is permissible with a zoning verification
approval. The letters ACUP mean that the use is permissible with an administrative conditional use
permit. The letter "Z" means that the use is permissible in the indicated zone with a zoning permit
issued by the community and economic development director. The letter "S" means a special use
permit must be obtained from the community and economic development director or hearing
examiner, and the letter "C" means a conditional use permit must be obtained from the hearing
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-018 3
examiner.
(b) When used in connection with residential uses )`the designation "ZSC" means
that such developments of less than twenty dwelling units must be pursuant to a zoning permit,
developments of twenty or more but less than fifty dwelling units need a special use permit, and
developments of fifty or more dwelling units require a conditional use permit.
(c) When used in connection with nonresidential uses, the designation "ZS" or "ZC" means that such
developments require a zoning permit if the total area to be developed is less than four acres in size,
and a special or conditional use permit, respectively, if the total area is four acres or larger in area.The
area to be developed shall be measured using a rectangular perimeter enclosing the full extent of the
on-site development, including any development that may be necessary to meet the requirements of
this title. If development occurs in succession over time, then a special or conditional use permit shall
be required at the point when the entire developed or developing area surpasses four acres.
(d) Use of the designation ZSC for combination uses is explained in Section 20.40.080 (Combination
Uses).
20.40.030 - Community and economic development director jurisdiction over uses otherwise permissible
with a zoning permit.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, whenever the Tables of Permissible Uses
(interpreted in the light of Section 20.40.020(Use of the Designations Z, S, C in Tables of Permissible Uses)
and the other provisions of this chapter) provides that a use in a nonresidential zone or a nonconforming
use in a residential zone is permissible with a zoning permit, a special use permit shall nevertheless be
required if the community and economic development director finds that the proposed use would have
an extraordinary impact on neighboring properties or the general public. In making this determination,
the community and economic development director shall consider, among other factors, whether the use
is proposed for an undeveloped or previously developed lot, whether the proposed use constitutes a
change from one principal use classification to another, whether the use is proposed for a site that poses
peculiar traffic or other hazards or difficulties, and whether the proposed use is substantially unique or is
likely to have impacts that differ substantially from those presented by other uses that are permissible in
the zoning district in question.
20.40.040- Permissible uses and specific exclusions.
(a) The presumption established by this title is that all legitimate uses of land are addressed within the
Tables of Permissible Uses and are either allowed or not allowed thereby. But because the list of
permissible uses set forth in Section 20:40 010 (the Tables of Permissible Uses}cannot be all-inclusive,
those uses that are listed shall be interpreted liberally to include other uses that have similar impacts
to the listed uses.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), all distinct uses that are not listed in Semi;, 20.40.010 (the Tables of
Permissible Uses}, even given the liberal interpretation mandated by Subsection (a), are prohibited.
Nor shall See-tien 2-0.40 910(the Tables of Permissible Uses}be interpreted to allow a use in one zoning
district when the use in question is more closely related to another specified use that is permissible in
other zoning districts. Similarly, all uses listed but left blank under the zone compatibility columns are
prohibited.
(c)Without limitingthe generality of the foregoing provisions,the following uses are specifically prohibited
in all districts:
Any use that involves the manufacture, handling, sale, distribution, or storage of any highly
combustible or explosive materials in violation of the city's fire prevention code.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-018 4
(2) RV Parks
(3) Outdoor Storage unless permitted per 20.44.
(4) Stand Alone Private Parking Lot
(5) Cannabis Collective Gardens
(6) Cannabis Dispensaries
(7) Lattice Towers
(8) Off-Premises Signs
(9) Mini-Storage and Storage Units
{� 10 Stockyards, slaughterhouses, rendering plants.
{4) 11 Use of a travel trailer, motor home, or other recreational vehicle as a permanent residence.
(Temporary residence is permitted under certain conditions pursuant to Section 20.44.044,
Recreational Vehicles as Temporary Dwelling Units).
{-34 12 Use of a motor vehicle parked on a lot as a structure in which, out of which, or from which
any goods are sold or stored, any services are performed, or other business is conducted. This
prohibition does not apply to temporary public services, such as bookmobiles, blood donation
centers, public service information, etc. (Situations that do not comply with this subsection on
the effective date of this title are required to conform within thirty days.)
(4)(13) The following activities, including any similar activities, are prohibited as home occupations
in all zones: marijuana production, marijuana processing, and marijuana retail.
{Wtlll) The number of permanent supportive housing units and transitional housing units allowed
on any given property shall be no more than the number of standard dwelling units that would
be allowed under the zoning of the property, PROVIDED THAT in no case shall the number of
permanent supportive housing units and transitional housing units allowed on any given
property exceed ten. No permanent supportive housing unit or transitional housing unit may
be located within one mile of another property than contains permanent supportive housing
or transitional housing. Each unit of permanent supportive housing or transitional housing shall
be limited to occupancy by one family as that term is defined in the AMC. All permanent
support housing units and transitional housing units shall be within a quarter mile walking
distance to a Community Transit bus stop. Permanent supportive housing or transitional
housing shall not be located within a mile of emergency housing and emergency shelters.
{ 15 The occupancy of an emergency shelter or emergency housing facility shall be limited to no
more than five families or twenty people, whichever is fewer. There shall be no more than one
continuously operating emergency shelter in the city and no more than one continuously
operating emergency housing facility within the city. As used herein, the phrase "continuously
operating" is intended to exclude emergency shelters and emergency housing facilities that are
needed to respond temporarily to a natural disaster or other similarly acute emergency that
has caused unexpected homelessness within the city. No continuously operating emergency
shelter may be located within a mile of a continuously operating emergency housing facility.
No continuously operating emergency housing facility may be located within a mile of a
continuously operating emergency shelter. Emergency housing and emergency shelters shall
not be located within a mile of permanent supportive housing or transitional housing units.
20.40.050 - Accessory uses.
(a) The tables of permissible uses ( classify_ different principal uses according
to their different impacts. Whenever an activity (which may or may not be separately listed as a
principal use in this table) is conducted in conjunction with another principal use and the former use (i)
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-018 5
constitutes only an incidental or insubstantial part of the total activity that takes place on a lot, or (ii) is
commonly associated with the principal use and integrally related to it, then the former use may be
regarded as accessory to the principal use and may be carried on underneath the umbrella of the permit
issued for the principal use.
(b) For purposes of interpreting Subsection (a):
(1)A use may be regarded as incidental or insubstantial if it is incidental or insubstantial in and of itself
or in relation to the principal use,
(2) To be "commonly associated" with a principal use it is not necessary for an accessory use to be
connected with such principal use more times than not, but only that the association of such
accessory use with such principal use takes place with sufficient frequency that there is common
acceptance of their relatedness.
(c)Without limiting the generality of Subsections (a) and (b),the following activities, so long as they satisfy
the general criteria set forth above, are specifically regarded as accessory to residential principal uses:
(1) Offices or studios within an enclosed building and used by an occupant of a residence located on
the same lot (or lots where the principal use occupies more than one lot) as such building to carry
on administrative or artistic activities of a commercial nature, so long as such activities do not fall
within the definition of a home occupation.
(2) Hobbies or recreational activities of a noncommercial nature.
(3) The renting out of one or two rooms within a single-family residence (which one or two rooms do
not themselves constitute a separate dwelling unit) other than on a daily or weekly basis to not
more than two persons who are not part of the family that resides in the single-family dwelling.
(4) Yard sales or garage sales, so long as such sales are not conducted on the same lot (or lots where
the principal use occupies more than one lot) for more than three days (whether consecutive or
not) during any ninety-day period.
(d) Without limiting the generality of Subsections (a) and (b),the following activities shall not be regarded
as accessory to a residential principal use and are prohibited in residential districts.
(1) Abandoned vehicles as regulated by AMC Chapter 9.92 (Abandoned Vehicles).
20.40.060 - Permissible uses not requiring land use permits.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, no zoning, special use, or conditional use permit is
necessary for the following uses:
(1) Electric power,telephone, telegraph, cable television, gas, water,affd-sewer, and storm lines,wires or
pipes,together with supporting poles or structures, located within a public right-of-way.
(2) Neighborhood, but not regional, utility facilities located within a public right-of-way with the
permission of the owner(state or city) of the right-of-way.
20.40.070 - Change in use.
(a) A substantial change in use of property occurs whenever a new use or activity conducted on a lot
creates a more intensive impact to the site in question or to the infrastructure of the city than the
previous use, as determined by the community and economic development director and/or his or her
designee.
(b)A mere change in the status of property from occupied to unoccupied or vice versa does not constitute
a substantial change in use. Whether a change in use occurs shall be determined by comparing the
two active uses of the property without regard to any intervening period during which the property
may have been unoccupied unless the property has remained unoccupied for more than one hundred
eighty consecutive days or has been abandoned.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-018 6
(c) A mere change in ownership of a business or enterprise or a change in the name shall not be regarded
as a substantial change in use.
(d)A proposal to substantial change the use of a building or property is required to submit a change of use
application and may require additional permitting on the property, such as site, landscaping or building
design improvements to bring the current building or property up to current code requirements.
(e) A change in use may require additional vehicle parking spaces, bicycle parking spaces, bicycle racks,
pedestrian crosswalks, and/or pedestrian access points to streets and buildings.
(f) Change of use permits requirements are listed in Chapter 20.44 Supplemental Use Regulations.
20.40.080- Combination uses.
(a) When a combination use comprises two or more principal uses that require different types of permits
(zoning, special use, or conditional use), then the permit authorizing the combination use shall be:
(1)A conditional use permit if any of the principal uses combined requires a conditional use permit.
(2)A special use permit if any of the principal uses combined requires a special use permit but none
requires a conditional use permit.
(3) A zoning permit in all other cases. This is iRdicated in the Table ef Pei-Missible Uses by the
desig atiE., Z -1, . .414-- -oL u., ns adjacent to the 29.00
20.40.090 - More specific use controls.
Whenever a development could fall within more than one use classification in the tables of permissible
uses (Section 0.40 010), the classification that most closely and most specifically describes the
development controls.
20.40.100—Footnotes of the Permissible Use Tables
These footnotes are intended to be a helpful reminder that specific uses may be subject to supplemental
regulations. The lack of a footnote does not mean that a particular use is not subject to applicable
supplemental use regulations. If a particular use does not have a footnote, there still may be applicable
Supplemental use regulations. If a proposed use is clearly intended to comply with specific supplemental
use regulations, then it is subject to them. The community development director will make the
determination of whether specific supplemental use regulations are applicable to a particular project.
Please see Chapter 20.44 for a complete list of the supplemental use regulations.
