Uses covered by this title are grouped into three categories, each with a corresponding review process as set forth in Title 21 and as follows:

(1) Class 1 permitted uses are allowed subject to review by the administrative official for compliance with Chapter 10.08. Specific Class 1 permitted uses are listed in Chapter 10.28, Table 10.28A.

(2) Class 2 administrative uses are generally allowed in the zoning district. However, the compatibility between a Class 2 use and the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance. Therefore, a Class 2 application shall be reviewed by the administrative official and may be conditioned in order to ensure compatibility and compliance with the provisions of the zoning district and the goals, objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan. Occasionally, even with conditions, a Class 2 use may be incompatible at a particular location. If a Class 2 application cannot be adequately conditioned, it shall be denied. Specific Class 2 administrative uses are listed in Chapter 10.28, Table 10.28A.

(3) Class 3 conditional uses are not appropriate generally throughout the zoning district but may be permitted at a particular location where it can be conditioned in such a way to ensure compatibility and compliance with the provisions of the zoning district and the goals, objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan. If a Class 3 application cannot be adequately conditioned, it shall be denied. Class 3 conditional use permit applications are reviewed by the hearing examiner at a public hearing review and a recommendation is forwarded to the legislative body recommending disposition of the application. A conditional use permit may not be granted for a use in a district from which it is specifically prohibited. Specific Class 3 conditional uses are listed in Chapter 10.28, Table 10.28A.

(4) Master applications are those involving two or more uses or procedures within a particular project. In such cases the entire project shall be subject to the level of review required by the highest categorized use or procedure (e.g., Class 3 being higher than Class 2, and Class 2 being higher than Class 1).

(5) Accessory uses are customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use of a structure or site. Therefore, accessory uses may only be permitted when a principal use has been established. The accessory use must be clearly secondary to, supportive of, and compatible with the principal use(s); consistent with the purpose of the zoning district; and comply with the provisions of this title. The land use category of an accessory use shall be the same as that of the principal use(s) as listed in Chapter 10.28, Table 10.28A, unless otherwise specified. (Ord. 2172, § 6, 2022; Ord. 1634, § 20, 2004.)
