Title 22 LAND USE
Chapter 22.30 STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES
22.30.020 Applicability of standards for special uses.
The standards provided by this chapter are related to the special
characteristics of the uses discussed and unless otherwise noted, apply to
developments in addition to all other applicable standards of this title. Any
land use subject to this chapter shall comply with the provisions of this
chapter for the duration of the use.
A. Where Allowed. The land uses
regulated by this chapter are allowed only where noted by Section 22.06.030,
Table 2-2 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).
B. Permit
Requirements. The land uses regulated by this chapter shall comply with the land
use permit requirements of Article 2 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit
Requirements) unless otherwise specified in this chapter, or unless other permit
requirements are set by Article 9 (Community Planning Standards), or combining
designation standards (Chapter 22.14).
C. Conflicts with Other Provisions.
In cases where the provisions of this chapter conflict with other applicable
requirements of this Title, the following rules apply:
1. If the standards
of this chapter conflict with the provisions of Articles 2, 3, 5, or 6, these
standards shall control;
2. If a use is subject to more than one section of
this chapter, the most restrictive standard shall control;
3. Where planning
area standards in Article 9 conflict with the provisions of this chapter, the
planning area standards shall control.
D. Exceptions to Special Use
Standards. The standards of this chapter may be waived or modified through use
permit approval, except where otherwise provided by this chapter and except for
standards relating to residential density or limitations on the duration of a
use (unless specific provisions of this chapter allow their modification).
Waiver of modification of standards shall be granted only where the commission
first makes findings that:
1. Set forth the necessity for modification or
waiver of standards by identifying the specific conditions of the site and/or
vicinity which make standard unnecessary or ineffective;
2. Identify the
specific standards of this chapter being waived or modified;
3. The project,
including the proposed modifications to the standards of this chapter, will
satisfy all mandatory findings required for use permit approval by Section
22.62.060(C)(4).
In no case, however, shall any standard of this chapter be
reduced beyond the minimum standards of the other chapters of this Title, except
through variance (Section 22.62.070). (Ord. 2982 § 1 (part),
2002)
